Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 cup vegetables diced (bell pepper, zucchini, spinach, etc)
- 1/2 cup mozzarella shredded
- 1/2 cup diced ham
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp Italian Seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190C).
- Line a muffin pan with paper liners or lightly grease each cup to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, crack and mix the 8 large eggs. Add 1 cup of cottage cheese and seasonings.
- Mix well until the ingredients are fully combined.
- Stir in the 1 cup of diced vegetables, 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella, and 1/2 cup of diced cooked ham.
- Ensure that all ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Use a cookie scoop or a large spoon to divide the egg mixture evenly into the prepared muffin cups. Fill each cup about 3/4 full.
- Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, until the muffins are set and lightly golden on top.
- To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin; it should come out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
