Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 large eggs
  • 1 cup full fat cottage cheese
  • 1/4 cup gruyere cheese shredded
  • 1/4 cup sharp white cheddar shredded
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/8 tsp garlic powder
  • 6 strips center cut bacon cooked crisp and crumbled
  • 2 tbsp scallions finely sliced

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 325F. Place a 9x13 baking pan on the bottom rack filled halfway with hot water for steam.
  2. Blend eggs, cottage cheese, salt, pepper, and garlic powder on high for 30 seconds until completely smooth.
  3. Spray a 12 cup muffin tin generously. Divide crumbled bacon and scallions between the cups.
  4. Pour egg mixture into each cup until 3/4 full. Top with shredded cheeses.
  5. Bake on the middle rack directly above the water pan for 22 to 25 minutes until centers are just set.
  6. Let rest in the pan 5 minutes, then run a spatula around each to release.
  7. Enjoy warm or store in the fridge or freezer for meal prep.

Notes

Use a water bath on the bottom rack for creamy texture. Full fat cottage cheese is required for the signature silkiness. Freezes beautifully for 3 months.
