Prep Time 15 minutes
Servings: 12
Course: Breakfast, dinner, lunch, Snack

Ingredients
  

7 large eggs
1 scant cup full fat cottage cheese
1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper
1/2 cup grated yellow cheese- your preference of edam, gouda, cheddar, as you like
Chopped drained roasted red peppers (mine were from a jar)
(You can also add in sautéed onions, mushrooms add other veggies as you like just don't overdo or it won't set properly)

Equipment

  • 1 blender or food processor

Method
 

Preheat oven to 350 F/175-180 C.
    In blender, buzz together the cottage cheese, eggs and salt and pepper till smooth. In heavily greased muffin cups (silicone is best if you’ve got it) place the muffin tray in a rimmed baking sheet. Place little heaps of the grated cheese and on top of the cheese the chopped roasted red pepper in the greased muffin wells (holes). Carefully pour the egg mixture into each muffin well distributing evenly. Very carefully pour boiling water into the rimmed baking sheet, not into muffin cups but around them- about 3/4 cup water- and carefully transfer to the oven. Bake for 22-28 minutes or until the eggs are cooked through and no longer jiggly and lightly browned on top. Remove from oven and serve by popping out of silicone cups. These can be stored in the fridge for about 3 days or frozen after completely cooled.

      Notes

      you can eat these hot (zap in microwave after removing from fridge) or cold like a frittata
