I've made these a few times, but made them again last night and I love them. Because of the almond & flaxseed meal and hemp seeds, this ends up much more like a muffin and less like a frittata. For 2 of these there are 7g carbs (4g fiber, 2g sugar) and 21g protein. They're very savory, and packed with good stuff.

Flourless Egg and Cottage Cheese Savory Breakfast Muffins (Nutrient Dense, Low Carb, Gluten-Free)
(Makes 12 small muffins; recipe created by Kalyn)
Dry Ingredients:
1/2 cup almond meal (almond flour will probably work, but I liked the texture of the coarser almond meal in this)
1/2 cup raw hemp seed (I used Manitoba Harvest Shelled Hemp Hearts)
1/2 cup finely-grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup flax seed meal
1/4 cup nutritional yeast flakes
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. Spike Seasoning (optional but good; can substitute any all-purpose seasoning mix)
1/4 tsp. salt
Wet Ingredients:
6 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup reduced-fat cottage cheese
1/3 cup thinly sliced green onion
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 375F/190C. Spray baking cups or muffin pan with non-stick spray or olive oil. (I've only used Silicone Baking Cupsfor this, but I think it might work okay in well-sprayed metal muffin pans. The muffin cups I used are just over 2 inches inches across, so if you use a larger size you'll get less muffins and may need to cook them slightly longer.)
In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the almond meal, raw hemp seed, Parmesan cheese, flax seed meal, nutritional yeast flakes, baking powder, Spike Seasoning (if using), and salt. In a smaller bowl, beat the eggs and then mix in the reduced-fat cottage cheese and thinly sliced green onions. Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
Scoop out the mixture with a small measuring cup and fill the muffin cups until they are nearly full, dividing the mixture evenly between the muffin cups. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the muffins are firm and nicely browned.
