Sun-Dried Tomato and Cottage Cheese Muffins (Vegetarian),From *Vegetarian Supercook* by Rose Elliot (“an accomplished UK-based cookbook author who focuses on vegetarian recipes”) comes this unique & tempting muffin recipe. The intro contained a wealth of info: “Not only does their cottage cheese & grd almond base make them a smarter way to start the day, but the combo of tomatoes, cheese & basil baking in a hot oven makes your kitchen smell like a pizzeria. The texture here isn’t attempting to emulate traditional flour-based muffins. These are much moister, less bready & more quiche-like.” *Enjoy* !,More akin to a quiche than a muffin these are lovely & light & tasty too. I froze some too so will be interesting to see how they go once frozen. Great recipe, thanks for posting.,These are good, low carb quiche-like muffins. I made mine with 3/4 cup chopped cooked broccoli, leaving out the tomato, basil and water. Also used Soy powder ipo flour bringing the carb count down again. I think I will try spinach too, maybe spinach bacon. I tried to spray the muffin papers with Pam, but they still stuck pretty badly. I did notice that they mostly peeled off of the outside of the foil muffin cups so I think next time I will take out the paper insert and spray the aluminum part and just use that.
