Ingredients
- 1 cup plain cottage cheese (low-fat is acceptable)
- 3/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup any type of flour
- 1 cup finely ground almond meal or almond flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 cup water
- 4 eggs, slightly beaten
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup mixed fresh herbs (1 tablespoon thyme, 1 tablespoon oregano, 1/4 cup chives)
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare the Muffin Pan
Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line a muffin pan with medium-sized paper baking cups, preparing eight cups in total.
This ensures your muffins won’t stick to the pan and makes for easier cleanup.
Step 2: Mix the Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the cottage cheese, all but 1/4 cup of the Parmesan cheese, flour, almond meal, baking powder, most of the fresh herbs, water, and lightly beaten eggs.
Season the mixture with salt and stir well to ensure all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Step 3: Fill the Muffin Cups
Using a spoon, fill each muffin cup about 3/4 full (or slightly more) with the mixture.
Then sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese and some of the reserved fresh herbs on top of each cup.
This will give your muffins an extra burst of flavor and a beautiful, golden crust.
Step 4: Bake the Muffins
Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes.
The muffins should be set, risen, and golden brown when they’re done.
You can serve these delicious muffins hot or at room temperature, depending on your preference.
