Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup small-curd cottage cheese, drained
  • 1/4 cup whole or 2% milk (or dairy-free milk like almond or oat)
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup bell peppers, finely diced
  • 1/3 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Olive oil or butter for greasing the muffin tin

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease your mini muffin tin with olive oil or butter.
  2. Dice the bell peppers and onion finely, and roughly chop the spinach. Sauté mushrooms or other veggies briefly if using.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until yolks and whites are fully combined and slightly frothy, about 1-2 minutes.
  4. Stir in the cottage cheese and milk.
  5. Add salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes if using. Whisk until evenly combined.
  6. Fold in the diced vegetables and shredded cheese gently.
  7. Pour the mixture into the muffin cups about 3/4 full.
  8. Bake for 18-20 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean and tops are slightly golden.
  9. Let cool for 5 minutes to firm up.
  10. Remove from the tin using a small knife or offset spatula. Serve warm or cool completely before storing.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for fluffier texture. Grease muffin tin well to prevent sticking. Rotate muffin tin halfway through baking for even browning. Over-beating eggs can make frittatas rubbery. Sauté harder veggies to soften before mixing. Can be made ahead and stored refrigerated up to 4 days or frozen up to 2 months.
