The humble egg cup is the reason I can get out the door fully fed while also feeding and clothing my two tiny children, filling water bottles, and then some. Bonus points that my kids think eating eggs in muffin shapes is WAY more fun! If low-carb’s your game, fabulous. But if you know me you know I’m in a committed relationship with anything carby. So I devour these smushed on avocado toast (no washing the egg pan, bliss!) or whenever I want a higher-protein snack lickety split. I posted a version of these with sun-dried tomatoes and basil in my meal planning guide PREPPED and you all went crazy for them so I figured the basic version needed a permanent home. Welcome home, egg fam!
Three simple ingredients
Large eggs: You’ll need 9 for this recipe (more eggs than my famous veggie quiche!). That may sound like a random number, but in testing that was my favorite ratio for the most fluffy texture and crave-worthy flavor. Cottage cheese: Good Culture is easily my favorite when it comes to flavor, high quality ingredients, and probiotics. I’ve also made these with Trader Joe’s cottage cheese and got great results. I truly didn’t notice a difference between low fat and full fat so use whatever you have you hand. Psst my cottage cheese waffles are a must-make! Salt: Salt and eggs is like peanut butter and jelly, am I right? Optional add-ins: The sky’s the limit when it comes to customizing these. Throw in cooked mushrooms or bell peppers (cooking prevents cups from being watery), greens, goat cheese, cheddar cheese, bacon, green onions…so many options!
Let’s make ’em.
Storage
Keep these in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Microwave for about 15 seconds to reheat, easy peasy! You can freeze these too for up to 3 months, I’d just let them thaw in the fridge overnight.
I hope you’re as obsessed with this easy recipe as I am!
