These Cottage Cheese Omelet Muffins are the ultimate healthy low-carb breakfast. Whether you’re following Keto or just looking for a high-protein breakfast, these delicious muffins do not disappoint. They are fluffy, flavorful, and beyond easy to make.

On more occasions than I can count, I have thanked my lucky stars that I had a few of these babies waiting patiently in the freezer. They’ve come in handy as easy breakfasts for my girls, on-the-go breakfasts for work, and tasty snacks when I needed an afternoon protein boost.

When it comes to egg muffins, the options for flavor combinations are endless. You can use any meats, cheeses, and veggies you like. Just keep in mind that you want around 1-1 ½ cups of toppings and 1 cup of cheese. 

Not only are these Cottage Cheese Egg Muffins completely delicious, but they are also totally customizable. If you have no clue what to do with the leftover veggies in your fridge, just chop them up and toss them into your egg muffins. You can use any combination of veggies, meats, and cheeses to create the egg muffins of your dreams.
