Directions
Prepare the Egg Mixture:
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a quarter sheet pan with parchment paper.
-
In a high-powered blender, combine eggs, cottage cheese, egg whites, kosher salt, black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. Blend until smooth.

Add roasted red bell pepper strips, Calabrian chili peppers, and baby spinach to the blender. Blend again until the veggies are roughly chopped.
Bake the Eggs:
-
Pour the egg mixture onto the lined sheet pan and bake for 20-25 minutes at 350°F, or until the eggs are set. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Prep the English Muffins:

Split the English muffins and place them on a sheet pan with the inside facing up. Lightly spray with avocado oil spray and toast them in the oven until golden brown.
Assemble the Sandwiches:
-
Use a biscuit cutter to cut the baked egg mixture into 6 equal portions, roughly the size of the English muffins.
