Egg Mixture
- 6 large eggs
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
Add-ins
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
- 1/2 cup diced vegetables (spinach, bell peppers, or mushrooms)
Other
- Cooking spray or oil for greasing muffin tin
- Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 325°F (160°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the egg bites evenly.
- Prepare the Muffin Tin: Grease a silicone or regular muffin tin thoroughly with cooking spray or oil to prevent the egg bites from sticking.
- Whisk Eggs: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, salt, black pepper, and optional garlic powder until smooth and fully combined.
- Add Cheese and Vegetables: Gently fold in the shredded cheese and the diced vegetables of your choice, distributing them evenly through the egg mixture.
- Fill the Muffin Tins: Pour the mixture into the greased muffin tin cups, filling each about three-quarters full to allow room for puffing.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the edges are set, tops are puffed, and an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool: Remove the egg bites from the oven and let them cool inside the tin for about 5 minutes to help them set further.
- Remove from the Tin: Carefully pop each egg bite out of the muffin tin. If using silicone molds, gently press from the bottom to release.
- Serve Warm: Enjoy the egg bites warm or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat before serving.
Notes
- You can customize the egg bites by using different cheeses like gouda or pepper jack and a variety of vegetables or cooked meats.
- For a dairy-free version, replace cottage cheese and shredded cheese with plant-based alternatives.
- Ensure not to overfill the muffin cups to avoid spilling during baking.
- These egg bites freeze well; store in airtight containers for up to one month and reheat as needed.
- Use fresh herbs like chives or parsley for extra flavor.
