Description
These puffs, made with eggs, cheddar, bacon, green onion and a surprise ingredient—cottage cheese—are easy to make and serve as a great on-the-go breakfast option. They’re a good source of protein, too!
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cottage Cheese (4% Milkfat, Small Curd)
- 4 whole Eggs, Lightly Beaten
- 1 cup Flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- ½ teaspoons Salt
- ¼ teaspoons Pepper
- ½ cups Cheddar Cheese, Shredded
- ¼ cups Bacon Pieces (Pre-cooked Or Pre-diced, Found In Salad Dressing Aisle)
- ¼ cups Green Onions, diced
Preparation
Preheat oven to 400ºF. Grease a nonstick muffin tin with PAM (use liberally so the puffs do not stick).
In a large bowl, mix together cottage cheese, beaten eggs, flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Fold in cheddar cheese, bacon pieces, and green onions until combined.
Spoon batter into muffin tins. Bake 20–25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool for 10 minutes and remove from the muffin tin. Serve immediately, or refrigerate. These reheat easily in the microwave for 15–20 seconds.
