Equipment

  • Oven

Ingredients

  • 6 eggs large
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese crumbled
  • 1 cup spinach fresh, chopped
  • 1 tbsp parsley fresh, chopped
  • 1 tbsp basil fresh, chopped
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • pinch sea salt
  • pinch red pepper flakes

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place a pan of water on the bottom rack for a steam bath.
  • Crack 6 eggs into a bender, and cottage cheese, cornstarch, salt and red pepper flakes. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  • Place parchment baking cups into a muffin tin and sprinkle the spinach, feta, and herbs into the bottom of each muffin cup. Pour the egg mixture over, filling each about 3/4 full.
  • Bake 20 minutes, or until the edges are golden. The bites are ready when the edges are set and golden, but the centers have a slight, soft jiggle when the pan is moved. They should feel springy, not firm or rubbery to the tough.
  • Let the bites rest in the pan for 5 minutes to prevent them from collapsing.
