Servings: 12
Equipment
- 1 Blender
Ingredients
- 6 eggs
- 1 cup egg whites
- ¾ cup cottage cheese
- ¼ teaspoon each salt & pepper or to taste
- ½ cup roasted red peppers diced
- ¾ cup gruyere cheese shredded
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300℉. Move one oven rack to the center of the oven and one to the bottom. Place an oven safe dish or skillet in the bottom rack. Boil 4 cups of water. Grease or line 12 muffin cups with liners.
- In a blender combine eggs, egg whites, cottage cheese, salt and pepper.
- Divide roasted red peppers and shredded cheese between all muffin cups. Pour egg mixture into each cup.
- Fill the dish in on the bottom rack of oven with boiling water, working fast to keep the steam trapped in the oven.
- Bake the muffin cups on the middle rack of the oven for 30-35 minutes or until set.
Notes
- Muffin tin liners make prep and cleanup easier. Silicone muffin tins or liners don't need to be greased.
- Opt for a metal baking dish for the boiling water, instead of glass.
- The center muffins may take a little longer to bake than the ones on the edges.
