Eggs are rich in choline, which supports memory and learning by fueling neurotransmitter production, and vitamin D, a nutrient linked to protecting brain function and helping balance mood neurotransmitters. The addition of cottage cheese boosts protein while delivering vitamin B12, essential for healthy nerve function and maintainingbrain energy levels.Finally, scallions provide flavonoids like quercetin and kaempferol, powerful antioxidants that help calm inflammation and protect brain cells from oxidative stress. Together, these ingredients create a nutrient-dense, brain-friendly meal that supports focus, memory, and long-term cognitive health.
Preheat the oven to 325F and place 12 muffin liners in a muffin tin.
Add the eggs, cottage cheese, and pesto to a blender or food processor and blend on high speed until completely smooth, 30 to 45 seconds.
Pour the egg mixture into each muffin cup, one at a time, until all are nearly full to the top. Put a sprinkle of cut up scallions on top of each muffin.
Bake until slightly golden on top and a toothpick comes out clean, 25 to 28 minutes. Cool completely in the muffin tin, the muffins will deflate slightly as they cool.
