Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1 cup diced vegetables (such as peppers, mushrooms, green onions, etc.)
  • 1 cup kale, finely chopped

Proteins

  • 1/2 cup cooked chicken, bacon, chicken sausage, or beans
  • 6 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (optional)

Seasonings

  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • Paprika, to taste
  • Cayenne pepper, to taste
  • Montreal Chicken Seasoning, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the egg mixture: In a large bowl, combine the eggs, cottage cheese, and shredded cheese (if using). For a smoother texture, you can blend the eggs and cottage cheese before mixing.
  2. Add veggies and proteins: Stir in the diced vegetables, finely chopped kale, and your choice of cooked chicken, bacon, chicken sausage, or beans. Season the mixture with salt, pepper, paprika, cayenne pepper, or Montreal Chicken Seasoning according to your taste preferences.
  3. Fill the muffin tin: Grease a muffin tin thoroughly. Spoon the egg mixture into the muffin cups, filling them nearly full. This recipe typically yields about 9 muffins.
  4. Bake: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the muffins for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the tops are slightly golden.

Notes

  • You can substitute the proteins with your preferred options, such as different types of beans or plant-based sausage, to suit dietary needs.
  • Use low-fat or regular cottage cheese based on your calorie preference.
  • Make sure to grease the muffin tin well to prevent sticking.
  • Store the muffins in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for longer storage.
  • To reheat, microwave for about 30-60 seconds or until warmed through.
