Ingredients
6 large eggs
4 oz (120 g) bacon
7 oz (200 g) cottage cheese
1/2 cup (50 g) feta cheese, crumbled
1/4 cup (60 g) cream
2 green onions, chopped
Pinch of nutmeg
1/4 tsp (1 g) salt
1/4 tsp (1 g) freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with butter or use silicone muffin cups.
-
Fry the bacon over medium-high heat until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to cool, then chop into small pieces.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs together with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
-
Stir in the cream, cottage cheese, feta cheese, and green onions. Mix well.
-
Add the chopped bacon and stir to combine.
-
Divide the mixture evenly between the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
-
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the muffins are puffed up and golden brown.
-
Allow them to cool slightly before removing them from the tin. Serve warm or at room temperature
Notes
-
For extra veggies, you can add spinach, bell peppers, or mushrooms.
-
Swap the bacon for ham, turkey, or sausage for a different protein.
-
If you don’t like feta, try cheddar, mozzarella, or Swiss cheese.
-
For a spicy kick, add a dash of chili flakes or hot sauce.
-
If you prefer a vegetarian version, just omit the bacon and add more veggies.
-
Store these muffins in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
