Ingredients
Gathering your ingredients before you start cooking is a practice I learned during my travels and kitchen adventures. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup chopped spinach
- 1/2 cup diced bell pepper (any color you prefer)
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
If you’re feeling adventurous, swap out spinach for kale or cheddar for feta. This flexibility reminds me of those carefree days experimenting with flavors in my own kitchen.
Instructions
Let’s walk through the steps to bring these muffins to life.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a muffin tin or line it with paper cups.
- In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until well combined. I always find whisking eggs to be a meditative moment, reminiscent of my grandmother’s gentle stirring.
- Add in the cottage cheese, chopped spinach, diced bell pepper, and shredded cheese. Stir everything together until evenly distributed.
- Season the mixture with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. These spices transport me back to vibrant family meals full of diverse flavors.
- Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the muffins are set and golden on top. The aroma will fill your kitchen, just like the bustling mornings in my childhood home.
- Once baked, let them cool for a few minutes before removing them from the tin. Enjoy warm or store for later!
