Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups baby spinach leaves
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 6 large pasture-raised eggs
  • 1/2 cup fire-roasted red bell pepper, finely diced
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3/4 cup full-fat cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced spring onions
  • Extra-virgin olive oil, for lightly greasing the skillet
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Method
 

Step 1: Preheat the Oven
  1. Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). This temperature allows for even cooking.
Step 2: Prepare the Ingredients
  1. Chop your fire-roasted red pepper, slice spring onions, and rinse the spinach. Use fresh ingredients for optimal texture and flavor.
Step 3: Blend the Mixture
  1. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs together. Add the cottage cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mixing ensures all flavors combine well.
Step 4: Fold in the Veggies
  1. Gently fold in the spinach, red bell pepper, Parmesan, and spring onions into the egg mixture. Every bite deserves a little veggie love!
Step 5: Grease the Muffin Tin
  1. Lightly grease your muffin tin with extra-virgin olive oil. This step is crucial to prevent sticking.
Step 6: Pour and Bake
  1. Pour the egg mixture evenly into the muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until they puff up and a toothpick comes out clean.
Step 7: Cool and Serve
  1. Let them cool for a few minutes before gently removing them from the tin. Serve warm or store for later—that is, if they last long enough!

Notes

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh vegetables and quality eggs make a noticeable difference in flavor.
  • Watch Baking Time: Every oven is different. Keep an eye on them to prevent dryness.
  • Don’t Overmix the Eggs: Mixing just enough will keep the texture fluffy.
  • Experiment with Fillings: Feel free to substitute veggies and cheeses based on your preferences.
  • Cool Completely Before Storing: To avoid condensation, let them cool before placing them in containers.
