Open in Pepper →Mornings move fast, and the breakfast that actually gets eaten is the one you can put together half awake. Eggs, cottage cheese, and a slice of good toast do most of the work here.
Cooks on Pepper reach for this collection on weeknights when they want breakfast for dinner, and on Sunday afternoons when they're making something ahead for the week.
Every recipe here leans on eggs and cottage cheese: avocado toast with a poached egg, a breakfast quesadilla on a carb balance wrap, protein cottage cheese pancakes, an overnight crockpot breakfast casserole, breakfast pizza omelette, and bake and take egg muffins.
Blend the pancake batter
Run the oats, egg whites, and cottage cheese in a blender for 30 seconds so the oats break down and the batter pours smooth.
Swirl the poaching water
Bring water to a bare simmer, stir a little whirlpool, and slide the egg in for 3 minutes for a runny yolk.
Grease the muffin tin well
Spray every cup, including the top rim, then bake egg muffins at 350°F for 20 to 25 minutes so they lift out clean.
Drain wet vegetables first
Cook peppers and onions 4 to 5 minutes and pour off the liquid before adding eggs, or your casserole turns watery.
