Ingredients
Method
- Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Blend the eggs, cottage cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, kosher salt, and black pepper on high for 30 seconds until completely smooth.
- Pour the blended mixture into a bowl. Stir in the thawed hash browns and chopped chives until evenly distributed.
- Brush a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil. Fill 9 cups about 3/4 full with the egg mixture, then divide the shredded Gruyère over each filled cup.
- Bake on the center rack for 28 to 32 minutes, until the centres are just set and the cheese tops are golden brown at the edges.
- Run a knife around each bite to release them, lift onto a serving plate, and scatter a pinch of fresh chives over the top.
Notes
These are best eaten within the first 2 days for the creamiest texture, though they hold up well for 4. If you are making them for the week, slightly underbake by 2 minutes so they do not dry out when reheated. A silicone muffin mould makes releasing them much easier than a metal tin.
