Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your muffin tin by greasing it or lining with silicone muffin liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, and shredded cheese until well combined. Add the milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper, and whisk until smooth.
  3. Stir in your chopped spinach and diced bell peppers into the egg mixture, ensuring an even distribution.
  4. Pour the egg mixture into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  5. Bake for 18–20 minutes, until they puff up and turn golden. Insert a toothpick to check for doneness.
  6. Let the bites cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then gently remove and cool on a wire rack.
