Cheesy Egg Muffins (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Core Ingredients

01 - ½ cup shredded cheese
02 - 1 cup cottage cheese (suggested fat content: 0% to 2%)
03 - 8 large eggs

→ Flavorings

04 - ¼ teaspoon onion powder
05 - ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
06 - ¼ teaspoon black pepper
07 - ¼ teaspoon salt

→ Extra Add-ins (use up to 1 cup total)

08 - Diced bell peppers
09 - Cooked sausage
10 - Diced ham
11 - Chopped fresh spinach
12 - Broccoli florets

# Instructions:

01 - Turn your oven on to 350°F. Lightly coat a silicone muffin pan with some non-stick spray or oil so nothing sticks.
02 - Toss the eggs, cottage cheese, and all the spices into a strong blender. Blend until the mixture is silky smooth.
03 - Scoop about ¼ cup of the egg blend into each muffin space.
04 - Layer shredded cheese and your favorite add-ins on top of the mixture in each cup. Use a spoon’s back end to give them a gentle mix. Sprinkle extra cheese on top if you're feeling cheesy.
05 - Pop the tray into the oven for 18-22 minutes. Take them out once they’ve firmed up and aren’t wobbly. Let them cool a bit before you gently lift them out of the pan.

# Notes:

01 - If you prefer egg whites, swap the whole eggs for 1.5 cups of whites (that’s about 12 of them). Keep in mind this version might come out a little softer and not as puffy.
