Main Ingredients

6 large large eggs
1 cup cottage cheese (fresh, room temperature) For creamier bites, use full-fat cottage cheese.
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your favorite) Experiment with different cheeses for unique flavors.

1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper

Optional Add-ins

Veggies or meat (optional, for added flavor and nutrition) For added flavor, chop finely and consider sautéing first.

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin.

Fold in your favorite veggies or cooked meat if desired.
Carefully fill each muffin cup about ¾ full with the mixture.

Cooking

Let cool for 5–10 minutes before removing from the tin.
