The wonderful part is that this meal is very flexible! Bacon never had? Swap it out with some sausage or ham or chopped veggies. Overly ambitious? A nice touch is sautéed onions and peppers, as is experimenting with different cheeses. Give these nibbles some thought.

Turning now to the recipe itself. It is actually very easy, much easier than arranging eggs!

Ingredients:

• Eight enormous eyeballs
• One cup cottage cheese (the full-fat gives it a nice texture)
• Just add salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
• 1 ½ cups grated Gruyere cheese, or any other cheese of your choice
• Four chopped, cooked bacon slices (optional)

Instructions:

1. Center a rack in your oven and preheat to 300°F (150°C). Put an empty baking sheet soaked with water on the rack underneath to make it steamy. That way, the egg fragments will cook more evenly.
2. Mist a muffin tray with cooking spray.
3. To a blender add the eggs, cottage cheese, pepper, and salt. Blend for about fifteen to twenty seconds, until frothy and smooth. If you combine too much, the egg particles might froth and break.
4. Spoon the egg mixture into each cup of the greased muffin tin, filling it about two thirds full.
5. Spoon the diced bacon and grated cheese equally over the egg mixture.
6. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until egg pieces’ centers are set.
7. Wait a little while before taking the egg parts out of the pan.
