Ingredients

8 large eggs

½ cup full-fat cottage cheese (for texture + protein)

¼ cup heavy cream or whole milk

½ cup finely chopped spinach

½ cup diced roasted red peppers (well drained)

½ cup shredded Gruyère or sharp white cheddar

½ tsp kosher salt

¼ tsp black pepper

Pinch red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325°F.
Lightly grease a silicone muffin mold (recommended for easy removal).

Blend Base.
In a blender, combine eggs, cottage cheese, cream, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and slightly frothy.

Add Fillings.
Divide spinach, roasted red peppers, and cheese evenly into muffin wells.

Pour & Bake.
Pour egg mixture over fillings, filling each about ¾ full.

Water Bath Method (Optional but Recommended for Luxury Texture).
Place muffin pan inside a larger baking dish and pour hot water halfway up the sides. Bake 25–30 minutes until just set.

Cool completely before removing.
