Total Time 30 minutes mins
- Extra-virgin olive oil, for the pan
- 6 large eggs
- 3/4 cup whole milk cottage cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 3 cups fresh spinach, 3 ounces
- 1/2 cup diced roasted red bell pepper, about 1 pepper
- 1/2 cup chopped green onion, about 2 green onions
Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a nonstick muffin tin with olive oil.
In a blender, place the eggs, cottage cheese, salt, and several grinds of pepper. Blend until smooth.
Place the spinach in a steamer basket and set over a pot filled with 1 inch of water. Bring the water to a simmer, cover, and steam for 1 minute, or until the spinach is wilted. Transfer to a strainer and squeeze out the excess water. Roughly chop.
Place the spinach in a medium bowl and add the peppers and scallions. Toss to combine and measure ¼ cup of the mixed vegetables. Set aside.
Evenly divide the remaining veggies among the muffin cups. Pour a scant ¼ cup of the egg mixture over the vegetables in each well. Divide any remaining egg mixture evenly among the wells. Evenly sprinkle the reserved ¼ cup vegetables on top.
Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the eggs are set. Let cool for 5 minutes before removing from the pan.
