Ingredients
  • 6 eggs (organic, large)
  • ⅓ cup egg whites (organic)
  • ⅛ cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (1% small curd)
  • 1 cup spinach (chopped)
  • 2 cup chopped veggies of choice (I used 4 ounces of mushrooms, 1 red bell pepper, and 3 green onions.)
  • ½ cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
  • ½ tsp all-purpose seasoning
  • ¼ tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp basil (dried)
  • 1/2 tsp pepper (to taste)
Instructions
  1. 1
    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil or avocado oil spray. Silicone muffin liners also work well for easy removal.
  2. 2
    Heat a small drizzle of olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, bell pepper, and green onions. Cook for 4–5 minutes, until softened and fragrant. Add the spinach and cook for another 1–2 minutes, just until wilted. Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.
  3. 3
    In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, heavy cream, cottage cheese, and seasonings until smooth.
  4. 4
    Stir in the sautéed vegetables and cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
  5. 5
    Divide the mixture evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about ¾ of the way full.
  6. 6
    Bake for 30 minutes, or until the centers are set and no longer jiggly. Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before gently removing.
