Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)
- 1/2 cup diced vegetables (spinach, bell peppers, or your choice)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: cooked bacon or sausage bits
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a muffin tin.
- Whisk together the eggs and cottage cheese until well combined.
- Stir in the shredded cheese, diced vegetables, and optional meat if using.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Pour the mixture evenly into the muffin tin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the egg bites are set and lightly golden on top.
- Allow to cool slightly before removing from the muffin tin. Serve warm or store in the fridge for meal prep.
Notes
Don’t overfill the cups; fill about 3/4 full to avoid spills. Drain very watery vegetables or cook them first so the bites are not soggy. Use a silicone muffin tin or nonstick spray for easy removal. Let them cool a few minutes before removing so they keep their shape.
