INGREDIENTS
- 6 eggs
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 cup cheese shredded
- ½ cup chopped spinach
INSTRUCTIONS
- Lightly lubricate a silicone muffin tray and preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. To make sure the egg bits slide off of the tray smoothly after baking, I prefer to use non-stick cooking spray, but a little oil would also do!
- Put the eggs, cottage cheese, and seasonings in a powerful blender. Blend until it's smooth.
- Pour approximately ¼ cup of the egg mixture into each cavity of the silicone muffin tin.
- Place the selected mix-ins and cheese on top of each cup. Gently stir the toppings into the egg cups using the back of a spoon. For each cup, you could wish to top it with a little more cheese.
- Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the eggs appear set and the egg cups are no longer jiggly. Before taking them off the tray, let them cool a little.
