Description

Crazy easy, fluffy baked egg cups made in the blender! Because what's better than a portable high-protein breakfast?! Make them your own with leftover veggies or cheese. Fab for meal prepping, with 12g protein per serving! The only way I get my little kids to eat cottage cheese... 😉


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 9 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup cottage cheese (I like Good Culture, low fat or full fat)
  • 1/2 tsp fine sea salt + freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional add-ins: 1/2 cup shredded cheese, 1 cup chopped spinach, 1/3 cup chopped fresh basil, or 1/2 cup cooked veggies

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F. Line a regular muffin tin with silicone liners, paper liners sprayed with cooking spray (I use this silicone muffin pan).
  2. Place eggs, cottage cheese, salt, and several grounds of black pepper in a blender. Blend for 15-30 seconds, or until smooth.
  3. Pour mixture evenly into prepared muffin tin (they will be full). Add a sprinkle of optional cheese and veggies if desired, using a fork to dunk them into the mixture.
  4. Bake for 22 minutes. I love serving these alongside avocado toast or zucchini baked oatmeal with raspberries or kiwi for a fiber boost!

Notes

If you add cheese, you may want to reduce the salt in the recipe to 1/4 tsp depending on how salt sensitive you are.
