Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin generously with olive oil or non-stick spray.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk the large eggs until frothy and well combined, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Add the cottage cheese to the eggs, stirring gently until blended, breaking up any large clumps.
  4. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, chopped spinach, and chopped red bell pepper until evenly distributed.
  5. Sprinkle in the garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and onion powder, stirring to mix well.
  6. In a small cup, mix the baking powder with a splash of water, then fold it into the batter until no clumps remain.
  7. Drizzle olive oil into the mixture and fold until smooth.
  8. Spoon the mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup nearly to the top.
  9. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until edges are golden and set in the center.
  10. Cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then use a knife to release the bites.
  11. Serve warm or cool completely and store in an airtight container.
