Servings: 12
- 12 large eggs
- 1 cup 2% cottage cheese
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon cracked black pepper
Toppings
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
Preheat the oven to 350ºF and spray a silicone mold or metal muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
Whisk eggs in a large bowl; be sure to vigorously whisk the eggs so they are completely combined. Add the cottage cheese, salt, and pepper to the bowl.
Fill each muffin cup with ¼ cup of the egg mixture and top with shredded cheese.
Bake the eggs for 18-22 minutes or until the egg cups are baked through. Serve with fresh chives.
- The bake time will vary by oven.
- If you are using a silicone muffin mold, be sure to place the mold on a baking sheet before filling it, or you will be left with a mess.
- Feel free to add mix-ins to the egg cups. Different spices or chopped vegetables are a great addition.
