Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil or non-stick spray.
  2. In a mixing bowl, crack open the large eggs and whisk them vigorously until frothy and pale yellow.
  3. Add the cottage cheese to the whisked eggs, mixing until smooth and well combined.
  4. Sprinkle in the shredded cheddar cheese and stir until evenly distributed.
  5. Fold in the chopped spinach, red bell pepper, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and onion powder.
  6. Mix the baking powder with a small splash of water and stir it into the egg mixture.
  7. Pour in the olive oil and mix until everything is well combined.
  8. Carefully spoon the mixture into your greased muffin tin cups, filling them nearly to the top.
