Ingredients

2 Tablespoons Green Onions chopped
6 whole Eggs
1 cup Egg Whites
1 teaspoon Salt
¼ teaspoon Pepper
1 cup Cheddar Cheese shredded
1 cup Cottage Cheese
1 lb Breakfast Sausage
2 cups Fresh Spinach chopped

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Spray muffin tins with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
Heat a skillet over medium high heat and add the breakfast sausage along with about ¼ cup of water. Use a spatula to break up the sausage as it cooks. Once cooked through, remove from the skillet and drain on a paper towel. Set aside.
In a blender, add the green onions, whole eggs, egg whites, salt, pepper, and cottage cheese. Blend on low until the cottage cheese is well-blended.
In each muffin tin cup, add about 1 tablespoon each of the cooked sausage, chopped spinach, and shredded cheese. Then, pour the blended egg mixture into each muffin tin, filling about ⅔ to the top.
Bake in your preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are just golden brown and the eggs are set.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before removing from the muffin tins and serving warm. Enjoy!
