1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon olive oil or cooking spray
Instructions

2. Finely chop all vegetables and cook moisture-rich ones like spinach if needed.
3. In a bowl, whisk eggs with cottage cheese until smooth and slightly frothy.
4. Add shredded cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, and mix well.
5. Fold in vegetables and cooked meat evenly into the mixture.
6. Pour mixture into muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

9. Serve warm or store for later use.
Notes
Pre-cook vegetables like spinach or mushrooms to prevent excess moisture.
Blend the egg mixture for a smoother, creamier texture similar to café-style egg bites.
Do not overbake to avoid a rubbery texture—remove as soon as centers are set.
