I needed some ready made meals that are simple and high in protein so I have been working with ChatGPT to meal prep meals that are in my calories and macros range. This recipe I am sharing worked out great and made 6 breakfasts!
Ingredients (12 muffins):
- 12 eggs
- 1 ½ cups cottage cheese
- 1 cup chopped spinach
- ½ cup shredded cheddar
- Spices: salt, pepper
Macros (2 muffins): ~225 kcal | 23g protein | 3g carbs | 13g fat
Make 6 servings. Freeze & reheat.
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, whisk 12 eggs and stir in 1 ½ cups cottage cheese.
- Add chopped spinach and fold in the shredded cheddar. Mix well.
- Pour mixture evenly into a greased muffin tin (12 muffins). I used olive oil on a paper towel to lightly grease the cups.
- Bake for 20-25 mins at 375 degrees F. until set and golden (Took me 25 mins, tested with toothpick)
- Cool completely, then store in fridge or freezer.
Tip: Recommend cutting in half before freezing and freezing them on parchment paper to avoid sticking and to keep your air fryer clean. I move them from freezer to fridge the day before and then reheat 2 muffins at 280 degrees in the air fryer for 10 mins. Cutting them in half before freezing helps them reheat more thoroughly.
Bonus: If you added extra spinach or your muffin tins are a bit smaller you have enough mix left over to make a quick omelet after!
