Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350 F.

- Add eggs, cottage cheese, salt, and pepper to a blender. Blend until smooth.
- Stir in shredded cheese and any add-ins.
- Pour the mixture into muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Cooking
- Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, until the centers look set and the tops are lightly golden.
- Let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before gently removing.
Notes
For optimal results, blend the base until smooth and don’t overbake. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the fridge or freeze for about 2 months. Reheat in the microwave or oven.
