Cottage Cheese Egg Muffins

Cottage cheese egg muffins are the ultimate grab-and-go high-protein breakfast, perfect for meal prep and busy mornings. These savory muffins combine beaten eggs with creamy cottage cheese, colorful vegetables, and flavorful seasonings, all baked in a muffin tin until golden and puffy. Each muffin delivers 12g of protein with only 95 calories, making them an incredibly efficient way to start your day. The cottage cheese makes these egg muffins extra moist and creamy compared to regular egg muffins, and they hold up beautifully for meal prep — store them in the fridge for up to 5 days and reheat in the microwave for 30 seconds. This cottage cheese recipe is endlessly customizable: swap in your favorite vegetables, add crumbled turkey sausage or bacon, or throw in fresh herbs like basil or dill. The base recipe uses bell peppers, spinach, and cherry tomatoes for a colorful, veggie-loaded option that's as beautiful as it is delicious. Make a batch of 12 on Sunday and you've got breakfast covered for the whole week. These cottage cheese egg muffins are also fantastic for kids' lunchboxes, picnics, or any time you need a quick protein boost on the go.
