Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Base Mixture
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup cottage cheese full fat (4%) works best
  • 1 cup Gruyère or Cheddar cheese shredded
  • 0.25 tsp salt
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper
  • 1 dash hot sauce (optional)
Optional Mix-ins
  • 4 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped, for garnish

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Muffin Tin or Silicone Mold
  • Baking sheet

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Place a pan of water on the bottom rack to create steam.
  2. In a blender, combine eggs, cottage cheese, salt, pepper, and hot sauce. Blend on high for 30 seconds until smooth.
  3. Generously grease a muffin tin or silicone mold. Divide any mix-ins (like bacon) evenly among the cups.
  4. Pour the egg mixture into the muffin cups, filling about 3/4 full.
  5. Top each cup with a sprinkle of shredded cheese.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the centers are set but slightly jiggly.
  7. Let cool for 10 minutes before removing from the pan.

Notes

Using a silicone mold is highly recommended to prevent sticking.
