I’ve been having fun making different egg-type breakfasts over the weekend. I decided to switch things up this week and make an egg bake instead of my normal protein shake. This recipe is modified from: https://www.cookingclassy.com/baked-denver-omelet/
Recipe
Recipe: Easy Egg Muffins
Serving size: 1/6 of recipe (1 large muffin or 2 regular sized muffins)
Ingredients:
- 6 whole eggs
- 12 egg whites
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Mix all above ingredients well. Pour evenly into muffin pan (I have a pan that holds 6 large muffins that works perfectly!).
This is the “base” recipe. You can add any kind of veggie, protein, or cheese to mix it up. Below are some combos that I love:
- Turkey sausage, spinach, Parmesan cheese
- Bacon and cheddar cheese
- Spinach, mushroom, and onion
- Spinach, tomato, mozzarella cheese with a little basil
- Peppers, onion, pepperjack cheese, salsa

Recipe: Buffalo Chicken Salad
Serving Size: 4 oz or 1 1/2 cups (5 servings total)
Ingredients:
- 20 oz chicken breast
- 2 cups celery (chopped)
- 1/2 cup carrots (chopped)
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions (I use the white and green parts)
- 1/4 cup Buffalo sauce
- 1/4 cup mayo
- 1 Ranch dressing packet
Bake chicken at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. While chicken is baking chop veggies and put in a large bowl. Mix in Buffalo sauce, mayo, and Ranch. Once chicken is cooked, cut it up in small pieces and mix with your veggies/sauce.
I put about 1-1 1/2 cups of the mixture over romaine lettuce with 1/2 of an avocado. You can also scoop the mixture on bread and make a sandwich or try it with crackers or chips.
ENJOY! 🙂
** I should note, this variation is a little spicy. If you want it more mild use less Buffalo sauce and a little more mayo.
