- Spoon into muffin cups, filling about to the brim.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes or until firm to the touch and golden brown around the edges.
- Let cool for about 5 minutes in the pan before serving to allow them to firm up a bit. Use a paring knife around the edges to help remove them if needed Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Store in the fridge for up to 3 days in an airtight container or store in the freezer in a zip top bag and reheat for 30 seconds in the microwave before serving.
- We also like these with grated raw or leftover roasted butternut squash and sweet potato, or shredded raw carrots.

- Chop them up over salad for your own lunch.
- Try mozzarella instead of cheddar.
- Try ricotta instead of cottage cheese.
