Calories: 214kcal
Ingredients
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tablespoons green onions chopped
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup egg whites
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 2 cups fresh spinach chopped
- 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- 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 1/4 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 2/3 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!
