  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  3. Stir in the chopped vegetables until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
  4. Grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or oil to prevent sticking.
  5. Pour the egg mixture evenly into the muffin tin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Baking

  2. Let the muffins cool slightly before carefully removing them from the tin.
Storage
  1. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat as needed.

Notes

For a fluffier texture, do not over-whisk your eggs. You can freeze these muffins by placing in a single layer on a baking sheet until frozen, then transferring to an airtight container or freezer bag. Reheat muffins in the microwave for about 30 seconds or in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes.
