Cottage Cheese Egg Bites Recipe

Ingredients (Makes 12 egg bites)

6 large eggs
1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat, depending on preference)
1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite melting cheese)
1/4 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Optional add-ins: diced vegetables (spinach, bell peppers, onions, mushrooms), cooked bacon, ham, or herbs.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease a muffin tin or silicone muffin molds with cooking spray or butter.
Blend the base:
- In a blender or food processor, combine the eggs, cottage cheese, shredded cheese, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and well combined.
Add mix-ins:
- If using vegetables, meat, or herbs, stir them into the blended egg mixture or place a small amount directly into each muffin cup.
Fill the muffin tin:
- Pour the egg mixture evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the egg bites are set and slightly golden on top. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
Cool and serve:
- Let the egg bites cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes, then gently remove them using a butter knife or silicone spatula. Serve warm or store for later.
