Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, crack open the large eggs and whisk them vigorously until well combined and slightly frothy.
  3. Add the cottage cheese to your egg mixture and blend until smooth.
  4. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, chopped spinach, red bell pepper, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and onion powder. Mix well.
  5. Dissolve the baking powder in a small amount of water and gently fold it into your batter until fully incorporated.
  6. Drizzle the olive oil into your mixture and blend until smooth.
  7. Carefully pour the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup nearly to the top.
  8. Place the muffin tin into your preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes until puffed and golden.
  9. Once baked, let the muffin tin cool for about 5 minutes, then run a knife around the edges for easy removal.
  10. Serve warm or cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
