Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 6 large Eggs
- 1 cup Cottage Cheese
- 1 cup Shredded Cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or Swiss)
- 1/4 cup Milk
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Onion Powder
Add-ins
- 1 cup Chopped Vegetables (bell peppers, spinach, mushrooms)
- 1 cup Cooked Turkey Bacon or Chicken Sausage (optional)
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C) and grease a muffin tin or line a silicone muffin tray to prevent sticking.
- Blend the Egg Mixture: In a high-speed blender, combine the eggs, cottage cheese, shredded cheese, milk, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Mix in Add-ins: Pour the blended egg mixture into a bowl and gently stir in the chopped vegetables and cooked turkey bacon or chicken sausage, if using, ensuring an even distribution.
- Fill Muffin Cups: Divide the mixture evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full to allow room for puffing during baking.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the egg bites are set and slightly golden on top.
- Cool and Serve: Let the egg bites cool in the pan for 5 minutes before carefully removing them from the tin. Serve warm or store for later.
Notes
- Use a high-speed blender for the smoothest texture.
- Feel free to swap in your favorite veggies or cheese varieties.
- These egg bites can be refrigerated for up to 4 days or frozen for meal prep.
- Baking time may vary slightly depending on your oven and muffin tin size.
- Silicone muffin trays work best for easy removal without sticking.
