Ingredients

• 6 large eggs
• 0.5 cup cottage cheese
• 200 grams chicken breast
• 50 grams spinach leaves
• 0.5 medium red bell pepper
• 0.5 medium onion
• 1 tablespoon cooking oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
• 0.5 teaspoon baking powder

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish or muffin tins with a little cooking oil.

Step 2

Cut the chicken breast into small pieces and season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Heat the cooking oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the chicken pieces to the pan and cook until they are golden and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Step 4

Finely chop the spinach leaves, red bell pepper, and onion. Add them to the same pan used for the chicken and sauté for about 3 minutes, until softened. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until they are fully beaten and fluffy.

Step 6

Add the cottage cheese, sautéed vegetables, cooked chicken, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and baking powder to the eggs. Mix well to combine all ingredients.

Step 7

Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese gently into the egg mixture.

Step 8

Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish or equally among the muffin tins.

Step 9

Place the dish or tray in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the eggs have puffed up and the top is golden brown.

Step 10

Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm and enjoy your protein-packed egg puff.
