Method
 

Directions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
  2. Whisk the large eggs in a mixing bowl until frothy, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Fold in the cottage cheese until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps, about 1 minute.
  4. Incorporate the shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed, about 30 seconds.
  5. Stir in the chopped spinach, red bell pepper, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and onion powder for about 1-2 minutes.
  6. Mix baking powder with a teaspoon of water to activate it, then fold it into the egg mixture.
  7. Pour in the olive oil and stir to combine thoroughly.
  8. Fill the muffin tin cups nearly to the top, about ¾ full.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes until golden on top and firm to the touch.
  10. Let the muffin tin cool for about 5 minutes before gently running a knife around the edges to release the bites.
  11. Enjoy warm or store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
