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

  1. Preparation: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a muffin tin or line a silicone muffin tray to prevent sticking.
  2. Blend the Egg Mixture: In a high-speed blender, combine eggs, cottage cheese, shredded cheese, milk, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth, ensuring a creamy batter for fluffy bites.
  3. Combine Add-ins: Pour the blended egg mixture into a mixing bowl and stir in the chopped vegetables and cooked turkey bacon or chicken sausage if using, evenly distributing the ingredients throughout.
  4. Fill Muffin Cups: Carefully spoon the mixture into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full to allow room for rising during baking.
  5. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes. The egg bites are done when set and lightly golden on top.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the egg bites cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Gently remove them from the tin and serve warm or store for later enjoyment.

Notes

  • You can customize the vegetables based on your preference or what is in season.
  • For a vegetarian version, omit the meat add-ins and increase vegetables or cheese as desired.
  • Use silicone muffin trays or grease your tin well for easy removal.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, and reheat in the microwave.
  • These egg bites are perfect for meal prepping and can also be frozen for longer storage.
