Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350℉ and spray a muffin tin well or use a silicon pan. This is the hardest part of the recipe. Eggs like to stick so grease it well or best case scenario use a silicone pan.
- In a blender, add the eggs, cottage cheese, salt and pepper. Blend egg mixture until smooth.
- Fill between 9-12 muffin cups with the blended mixture. Every pan is slightly different in size so you'll want to fill them almost to the top about 3/4 full. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of the shredded cheese on top of each egg cup. It will sink slightly. Add any other toppings you desire.
- Bake for 18 minutes. Pull from the oven and sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese evenly on top. Bake for an additional 4-6 minutes or until cheese is melted and eggs are set. *Note - I have noticed that a metal pan cooks faster whereas a silicon pan cooks slower so you may need to cook on the longer side. Remove from the oven and cool slightly. Loosen edges with a knife if needed and eat.
