Ingredients

5 large eggs
⅓ cup 2% cottage cheese
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
¼ cup feta cheese crumbles or shredded cheddar cheese
¼ cup packed baby spinach, roughly chopped
3 tablespoon white or yellow onion, minced
Optional: 1 - 2 slices of turkey bacon or regular bacon crumbled

Instructions

Blend the base: Add the eggs, cottage cheese, salt, and pepper to a blender and blend on high for 20 to 30 seconds until smooth.
Fill the molds: Evenly divide the cheese, spinach, onion, and optional bacon into 8 silicone muffin cups or a 6-cavity silicone muffin pan, then place them in your air fryer basket.
Add the eggs: Pour the egg mixture into each cup, filling each about ¾ full. Use your finger or a spoon to swirl each one so the mix-ins are evenly distributed.
Air fry: Cook at 290°F for 12 to 15 minutes, until the eggs are puffed up and set.
Serve or store: Enjoy warm, or cool and store for meal prep (see notes).
