Description

Soft, custardy, and protein-packed—these breakfast bites blend creamy cottage cheese with eggs, cheese, and optional mix-ins, delivering satisfying, grab-and-go morning goodness.


Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Swiss, or Monterey Jack)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional mix-ins: diced spinach, bell pepper, ham, herbs


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a muffin tin.
  2. In a blender, combine eggs, cottage cheese, milk, salt, and pepper. Blend until completely smooth.
  3. Pour mixture into a bowl and gently fold in shredded cheese and any mix-ins.
  4. Divide the batter among the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
  5. Bake 18–22 minutes, until puffy and set. Let cool slightly before removing.
  6. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Dot with chives, parsley, or smoked paprika after baking.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze individual bites for up to 2 months.
  • Reheat in microwave (30–45 s) or oven (325°F/160°C for 10 min).
  • Substitute Greek yogurt for cottage cheese for tangier flavor.
