Ingredients
Scale
- 2 (10-ounce) packages frozen chopped spinach, thawed
- 4 scallions, thinly sliced crosswise
- 6 large pastured eggs
- 2 cups (16 ounces) cottage cheese (whole milk)
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan, plus more for topping (optional)
- Pinch of ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon curry powder
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 4 Tablespoons (28 grams) almond flour
- 2 Tablespoons (15 grams) tapioca flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a 12 cup muffin tin with unbleached paper liners* or grease with olive oil
- Place the thawed spinach in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze firmly over the sink to remove as much water as possible. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the eggs, cottage cheese, Parmesan, curry powder and nutmeg. Season with salt and pepper and mix until well combined.
- Break apart the squeezed spinach and add it to the egg mixture along with the scallions. Mix until evenly combined.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the almond flour, tapioca flour and baking powder, breaking up any lumps.
- Add the flour mixture to the spinach mixture and stir just until incorporated.
- Divide among the prepared muffin cups, using about ⅓ cup for each. Sprinkle with additional Parmesan, if desired.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, until set in the center and lightly golden on top.
- Let cool for about 15 minutes before removing from the pan and serving.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in a toaster oven or microwave until warmed through.
Notes
Use unbleached muffin liners, bleached liners stick to the egg.
