Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 6 large eggs
- ½ cup cottage cheese
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp pepper
- Optional: garlic powder, herbs, or chili flakes (to taste)
Add-Ins and Cheese
- ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Swiss, or your choice)
- 1½ cups cooked add-ins such as bacon, spinach, mushrooms, etc.
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Muffin Tin: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a muffin tin well or line it with silicone muffin liners to prevent sticking.
- Blend Egg Mixture: In a blender, combine the 6 large eggs, ½ cup cottage cheese, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Add any optional seasonings like garlic powder, herbs, or chili flakes to taste. Blend until the mixture is very smooth and creamy.
- Add Cheese and Toppings: Transfer the blended egg mixture to a bowl. Gently stir in ½ cup shredded cheese and the 1½ cups of cooked add-ins such as bacon, spinach, or mushrooms until evenly distributed.
- Fill Muffin Cups: Pour the mixture into the prepared muffin tin cups, filling each about ¾ full to allow room for rising.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 22 to 28 minutes. Bake until the egg bites are just set and slightly puffed but not browned on top.
- Cool and Store: Remove from the oven and allow the egg bites to cool slightly in the tin before gently removing them. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freeze for longer storage.
Notes
- Make sure to blend the eggs and cottage cheese well for the fluffiest texture.
- Customize add-ins to your preference; precook ingredients like bacon or mushrooms to avoid excess moisture.
- You can prepare these ahead and reheat in the microwave for a quick breakfast.
- Use silicone muffin liners for easy removal and less mess.
- Don’t overbake – the egg bites should be set but moist and tender inside.
