High Protein Egg Cups

Everything Bagel Seasoned Egg Cups

This is a basic ratio for high protein egg cups. Depending upon the type of protein you use, each cup will have about 11-12g of total protein. You can also skip the protein and have plain eggs, or eggs and veggies. With just the eggs and cottage cheese, each egg cup has 4-5 grams of protein.

INGREDIENTS

• 8 whole egg

• 1 cup cottage cheese

• ½ salt (skip this if your cottage cheese is extra salty)

• 12 oz cooked, cooled protein (pictured is salmon with everything spice, breakfast sausage also good)

• Additional seasoning to taste (salt, black pepper, hot sauce, extra lemon)

METHOD

1. Preheat the oven to 350.

2. In a container that fits the immersion blender (like a tall jar), combine the egg, cottage cheese, and salt and blend until smooth.

3. Oil a muffin tin or silicone mold, then place 1oz of protein in each cup. Place muffin tin (or mold) onto a rimmed baking sheet.

4. Pour the egg mixture evenly between the 12 cups, and place the tray in the oven. *Optional - once the tray is in the oven, create a bain marie by pouring 1/2” of hot water into the baking tray. The steam will help keep eggs tender.

5. Bake for 15-25 minutes or until eggs are just set. Remove from oven carefully (there’s water in the pan!
