Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare muffin tins by heavily greasing with butter or olive oil spray (you will need a total of 24 regular size or 48 mini muffin size).
Combine eggs and cottage cheese in the bowl of a stand mixer. With the whisk attachment on, beat on medium high speed for 5 minutes.
While the eggs are beating, prepare a pot of boiling salted water. Once boiling, add asparagus for only one minute to blanch, then transfer asparagus pieces to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain.
Combine whipped egg mixture, salmon, asparagus, and green onions. Use a large spoon to transfer even amounts of mixture to muffin tin(s). Using a spoon works better than pouring because the solids settle on the bottom and the spoon allows you to ensure the best proportion of solids to liquid.
Top with parmesan cheese.
Bake in preheated oven (20-25min for large muffin tins, 10-15min for mini). If needed, allow to sit in muffin pan for a few extra minutes to lift out.
