Make these high-protein cottage cheese egg cups with spinach and feta for a quick, tender, and satisfying breakfast. They are perfect for meal prep and can be customized with your favorite ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup blended cottage cheese
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • Cooking spray or muffin liners

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin well with cooking spray or line with paper liners.
  2. In a blender, combine the blended cottage cheese, eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and well combined.
  3. Stir in the chopped fresh spinach and crumbled feta cheese into the cottage cheese mixture.
  4. Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the egg cups are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Let the egg cups cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before removing them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a smoother texture, ensure your cottage cheese is well blended.
  • You can use frozen spinach, but make sure to thaw it completely and squeeze out all excess water before adding it to the mixture.
  • These egg cups can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days.
  • For longer storage, freeze the cooled egg cups in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 3 months.
  • Reheat frozen egg cups in the microwave for 40-90 seconds, or until heated through. Thawed egg cups will require less reheating time.
  • Feel free to add other ingredients like diced bell peppers, onions, or your favorite herbs.
