Ingredients

Roasted Potatoes and Onions

  • 1 lb red potatoes – diced into 1/2″ pieces
  • 1/2 a yellow onion – large dice
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/8 tsp smoked paprika

Egg Mixture

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • Pinch of salt

Toppings

  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 2 tbsp finely diced chives

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Roast Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the diced potatoes and onions on the sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle kosher salt and smoked paprika evenly over them. Toss everything to coat well. Roast in the oven for about 15 minutes until the potatoes begin to soften and slightly brown.
  2. Prepare Egg Mixture: While the potatoes roast, spray a 12-slot muffin pan with cooking oil to prevent sticking. In a high-speed blender, combine the eggs, cottage cheese, onion powder, and a pinch of salt. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
  3. Combine Potatoes and Eggs: After roasting, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (177°C). Evenly distribute the roasted potatoes and onions into each muffin pan slot. Pour the smooth egg and cottage cheese mixture over the potatoes in each cup. Stir gently within each slot to evenly mix the eggs and potatoes.
  4. Add Toppings and Bake: Sprinkle shredded sharp cheddar cheese and diced chives on top of each filled muffin cup. Place the muffin pan back in the oven and bake at 350°F for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the egg is set and the cheese is melted.
  5. Broil for Browning: Switch your oven to the broil setting and broil the bakes for 1 to 2 minutes just to brown the cheese topping lightly. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove the muffin pan from the oven and let the bakes cool slightly before serving warm.
