Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese If you prefer a smoother texture, briefly blend the cottage cheese before adding.
- 6 large eggs Use the freshest eggs for the best rise and texture.
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice) Any melty cheese works; cheddar adds sharpness and mozzarella keeps the flavor mild.
- 1/2 cup diced vegetables (bell peppers, spinach, or onions) You can use any diced vegetable like zucchini or mushrooms (squeeze excess moisture first).
- to taste salt and pepper Taste the mixture before adding much extra salt.
- as needed cooking spray or oil for greasing muffin tin Brush the muffin tin with a little neutral oil if preferred.

- Stir in shredded cheese and diced vegetables. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly into the greased muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
