Bake high-protein egg cups in a muffin tin using blended cottage cheese for a tender texture. These are great for make-ahead breakfasts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (2% or whole milk)
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • Cooking spray or paper liners

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or line with paper liners.
  2. Place the cottage cheese and whole eggs into a blender or food processor. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth, about 30 seconds.
  3. Pour the blended egg mixture into a medium bowl. Stir in the salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  4. Add the chopped fresh spinach and crumbled feta cheese to the egg mixture. Stir gently to combine evenly. Do not overmix.
  5. Divide the mixture evenly among the 12 prepared muffin cups. Fill each cup about three-quarters full.
  6. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the egg cups are set in the center and lightly golden. A toothpick inserted near the center should come out clean.
  7. Remove the tin from the oven and let the cups cool in the tin for 5 minutes before carefully removing them.

Notes

  • For best results, use fresh spinach that you chop finely. If using frozen spinach, thaw it completely and squeeze out all excess water before adding it to the mixture.
  • This recipe uses whole eggs for a richer texture. You can substitute up to 2 whole eggs with egg whites if you prefer a lighter bite.
  • For grab-and-go portions, these fit well in small containers for quick breakfasts.
  • To reheat from refrigerated, microwave for 30 to 45 seconds. To reheat from frozen, microwave for 60 to 90 seconds.
  • Try adding 1/4 cup of diced bell peppers or a pinch of dried oregano for flavor variation.
