  • 1/2 cup diced vegetables (bell peppers, spinach, onions, etc.)
  • to taste salt and pepper
  • cooking spray or oil for greasing

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or oil.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese, eggs, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  3. Stir in the shredded cheese and diced vegetables.
  4. Pour the mixture evenly into the muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

  2. Allow to cool slightly before removing from the tin. Serve warm or store in the refrigerator for quick breakfasts later.

Notes

For best results, make sure not to overfill the muffin tin. Experiment with different cheese types, like mozzarella or feta, for a unique flavor. Add herbs like parsley or chives for an extra burst of freshness.
