Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce (such as Tabasco or Tapatio)
- 5 lices Bacon (cut into small pieces and cooked)
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese (grated)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Cut bacon into small pieces. Cook until crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Remove and set aside on a paper-towel-lined plate.
- In a blender, add eggs, salt, pepper, cottage cheese, and hot sauce. Puree until smooth.
- Spray a muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray. Pour egg mixture about 2/3 full. Sprinkle in bacon and cheese and stir using a spoon or butter knife.
- Carefully heat some water in the microwave. Carefully pour into a 9 x 13 pan. Place in the bottom rack of the oven. This is what will create steam in order to slowly temper and cook the eggs.
- Place the muffin tin on another oven rack. Bake for 20-23 minutes or until eggs are cooked through. Remove from the oven and let set up for 5 minutes before serving.
- Serve with salsa, sour cream, and fresh cilantro.
