Ingredients

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 325°F (165°C) with a roasting pan of hot water on the lowest rack; the steam keeps the bites soft. Oil a 12-cup muffin pan.
  2. Blend the eggs, cottage cheese, feta and pepper for 30 seconds, until smooth and frothy. That is what makes them velvety, not spongy.
  3. Divide the sun-dried tomatoes and spinach among the cups and pour the egg over, three-quarters full.
  4. Bake on the middle rack for 22 to 25 minutes, until just set with a slight wobble. Rest 5 minutes, scatter the basil over and serve 3 per portion with half an avocado and some raspberries.
Chef’s tipSlow it: Eggs, cottage cheese and avocado bring protein and fat with almost no starch, so this breakfast barely moves the needle.
KeepFridge 4 days in a sealed box, freezer 2 months. Reheat 30 to 40 seconds in the microwave. Slice the avocado fresh.
