Steps
- 01Blend eggs, cottage cheese, cream, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until smooth.
- 02Stir in the feta, spinach, and roasted red pepper.
- 03Pour into greased silicone molds, 3/4 full.
- 04Ready for the air fryer.
Chop the spinach fine. Big leaves don't distribute evenly in these small bites and you end up with one that's all spinach and one that's none. The roasted red pepper from a jar adds sweetness without any extra prep. Just drain and dice.
