Step-by-Step Instructions for Fluffy Cottage Cheese Egg Muffins
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin tin by greasing it with cooking spray or lining it with muffin liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, crack open the 6 large eggs and whisk them for about 1-2 minutes until frothy.
  3. Add the cottage cheese, shredded cheddar, and grated parmesan to the egg mixture and stir gently until combined.
  4. Fold in the chopped spinach, diced red bell pepper, and chives. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Carefully divide the mixture among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until puffed up and golden. A toothpick should come out clean.
  7. Let muffins cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  8. Serve warm or store in an airtight container for later.
