Ingredients

1 cup cottage cheese

¾ cup shredded cheddar cheese (feel free to add a sprinkle of Parmesan!)
Optional add-ins: chopped onions, bell peppers, or jalapeños for an extra kick of flavor and nutrients.

Instructions

Preheat your oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Portion the muffins: Scoop the mixture evenly into muffin cups. (Tip: I highly recommend using a silicone muffin pan for the best baking results and easy cleanup.)
