Ingredients
- 8eggs
- 1 clow-fat cottage cheese
I love Good Culture
- ¼ tspblack pepper
- ½ tsporegano
- ½ cred bell pepper
- 1 cspinach
- 1 ozfeta cheese
Directions
- 1
Add water to a 9x13 baking pan halfway to the top. Place on the bottom rack of the oven. This helps to keep the egg muffins moist and tender while baking.
- 2
Preheat the oven to 350℉. Generously grease a 12-cup, non-stick muffin pan with cooking spray, set aside. Alternatively, you can line the muffin pan with silicone muffin liners.
- 3
In a blender, combine the eggs, cottage cheese, black pepper, and oregano. Blend until well combined and smooth.
- 4
Evenly divide the peppers, spinach and feta cheese amongst each muffin cup. I just eyeball this, trying to make them as even as possible. Each muffin cup will have 2-3 tablespoons of veggies and cheese.
- 5
Pour about 1/3 cup of the egg and cottage cheese mixture on top the veggies and cheese in each muffin cup. I like to start with less and then go back to make sure they are fairly even. Each cup should be 3/4 full or a tiny bit more.
- 6
Use a toothpick to stir the veggies and cheese a bit. This does not affect the flavor, but it helps to bring them to them to the top as the egg muffins bake, which makes for a pretty muffin cup.
- 7
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the muffins are set and cooked through the center. They will puff up when cooking and then deflate bit as they cool.

Cool for 12-15 minutes. Run a knife along the side of each muffin, remove, and enjoy!
