Blending cottage cheese into the eggs before baking gives these muffins a custardy inside instead of the rubbery texture plain egg muffins can get. Sharp cheddar and fresh chives keep the flavor simple, so they reheat well without tasting like leftovers.

7 ozcottage cheese
3 ozshredded cheddar
3 tbspchives, chopped
1/2 tspsalt
1/4 tspblack pepper

Steps

1
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
2
Blend the eggs and cottage cheese together until completely smooth.
3
Stir in half the cheddar, the chives, salt, and pepper.
4
Divide the mixture evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full, and top with the remaining cheddar.
5
Bake 18-22 minutes until puffed and set in the center.
6
Let cool 5 minutes before removing from the tin; they'll deflate slightly as they cool, which is normal.
7
Air fryer option: divide the mixture into silicone muffin cups and air fry at 160C (325F) for about 12 to 14 minutes, until puffed and set in the center.
