Ingredients
  

6 large eggs

1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)

1 cup spinach, chopped (fresh or frozen)

1/2 bell pepper, finely diced (any color)

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

1/4 cup green onions, chopped

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Non-stick cooking spray or olive oil for greasing

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray or a brush of olive oil.

    Prepare the Muffin Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well combined. The cottage cheese should blend well but still leave some small curds for texture.

      Add the Veggies: Fold in the chopped spinach, diced bell pepper, shredded cheddar cheese (if using), and green onions into the egg mixture, ensuring an even distribution of the ingredients.

        Fill the Muffin Tin: Pour the mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full. Leave a little space at the top as the muffins will rise during baking.

          Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the muffins are set and lightly golden on top. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.

            Cool and Serve: Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the muffins to cool for a few minutes in the pan. Then carefully run a knife around the edges and pop them out onto a wire rack to cool slightly.

              Enjoy: Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. Enjoy them as a healthy breakfast or a nutritious snack!
