Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 8 large large eggs

- In a blender, combine the eggs, cottage cheese, salt, black pepper, and dried basil. Blend for 15-20 seconds until smooth.
- Transfer the blended mixture to a large bowl. Stir in the Monterey Jack cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, and crumbled Italian sausage.
- Use a measuring cup to pour the egg mixture into each well of the muffin tin until each is about ⅔ full.
- Evenly distribute the sausage among the muffin wells.
Cooking
- Place the muffin tin on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the centers are set.
