Healthy Recipe to Fuel Athletes

Ingredients

  • Extra-virgin olive oil

  • 6 large eggs

  • ¾ cup whole milk cottage cheese

  • ¼ tsp sea salt

  • Ground black pepper

  • 3 cups fresh spinach

  • ½ cup diced roasted red bell pepper

  • ½ cup chopped green onion

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a nonstick muffin tin with olive oil.

  2. In a blender, place the eggs, cottage cheese, salt, and several grinds of pepper. Blend until smooth.

  3. Place the spinach in a steamer basket and set over a pot filled with 1 inch of water. Bring the water to a simmer, cover, and steam for 1 minute, or until the spinach is wilted. Transfer to a strainer and squeeze out the excess water. Roughly chop.

  4. Place the spinach in a medium bowl and add the peppers and scallions. Toss to combine and measure ¼ cup of the mixed vegetables. Set aside.

  5. Evenly divide the remaining veggies among the muffin cups. Pour a scant ¼ cup of the egg mixture over the vegetables in each well. Divide any remaining egg mixture evenly among the wells. Evenly sprinkle the reserved ¼ cup vegetables on top.

  6. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the eggs are set. Let cool for 5 minutes before removing from the pan.
