Ingredients
- 1 cup high protein cottage cheese or regular cottage cheese, your choice
- 6 eggs
- 6 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
- 1 cup vegetables of choice finely chopped

- 2 cloves 2 cloves garlic minced (or ½ tsp garlic powder)
- Black pepper to taste
- Optional: a pinch of salt depending on bacon + cheese saltiness
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- Lightly grease a muffin tin or use muffin cups (less mess to clean up)
- Blend the base.
- In a large bowl or I use my 2 QT Pyrex Mixing Bowl, add the eggs and scramble them up.
- Prep the fillings.
- Cook the bacon until crispy, then crumble.
- Chop your vegetables small so they cook evenly.
- Put all the ingredients together in the bowl and mix together! It's that simple.
- Spoon or pour the mixture into the muffin cups.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the centers are set and the tops are just lightly golden. I start checking at the 18 minute mark.
- Cool slightly and enjoy.
- Let them rest for a few minutes before removing—they’ll firm up as they cool.
