Stir in the broccoli and cook for an additional minute.
Mix the Egg Base:
In a large bowl, combine the egg whites, cottage cheese, garlic powder, and seasoning salt. Whisk until well-blended.
Combine the Veggies with the Egg Mixture:
Add the sautéed vegetables to the egg mixture and mix thoroughly.
Assemble the Muffins:
Line each muffin cup with half a slice of turkey bacon around the edges. Pour in the egg mixture, filling each cup about 1/3 full.
Top and Bake:
Sprinkle shredded cheese on top of each muffin. Bake in the center of the oven for approximately 25 minutes, or until the muffins are set and firm.
