Make easy, protein-packed egg bites using cottage cheese for a fluffy texture, perfect for meal prepping a grab-and-go breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (Monterey Jack or cheddar)
  • 1/4 cup cooked, crumbled bacon or diced ham (optional)
  • 1/4 cup chopped spinach or bell pepper (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup standard muffin tin.
  2. Place the cottage cheese, eggs, salt, and pepper into a blender. Blend until completely smooth, about 30 seconds.
  3. Stir in the shredded cheese and any optional mix-ins like bacon or vegetables in a bowl.
  4. Pour the egg mixture evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
  5. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the egg bites are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Let the egg bites cool in the tin for 5 minutes before carefully removing them.

Notes

  • For a smoother texture, use a high-speed blender. For a thicker texture, you can use an immersion blender directly in a bowl.
  • If you prefer a different method, you can cook these in an Instant Pot using a trivet and silicone molds for about 8-10 minutes on high pressure, followed by a quick release.
  • These egg bites freeze well. Cool completely, then store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one month. Reheat in the microwave.
