Ingredients

  • 2 cups small curd cottage cheese
  • 4 large eggs , beaten
  • 2 cups all -purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1.5 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/3 cup sliced scallions
  • 1/4 cup finely diced red bell pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick spray or butter.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese and beaten eggs until the mixture is uniform.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper to ensure even distribution of leavening agents.
  • Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet cottage cheese mixture using a spatula until just moistened.
  • Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, sliced scallions, and diced red bell pepper until evenly incorporated.
  • Distribute the batter equally among the 12 muffin cups, filling each to approximately three-quarters capacity.
  • Bake for 22 to 25 minutes until the tops are golden brown and a thermometer inserted into the center of a muffin reads 200°F (93°C).
  • Allow muffins to rest in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to prevent steaming and structural collapse.
