Ingredients
Scale
- 12 large eggs
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese
- 1/4 cup milk (any kind)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (Monterey Jack or cheddar)
- 1/2 cup cooked, crumbled sausage or bacon (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Lightly grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, milk, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until completely smooth. This step helps create a creamy texture.
- Stir in the shredded cheese and any cooked meat additions you are using.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the egg bites are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the egg bites cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before carefully removing them.
- For meal prep, store cooled egg bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave when ready to eat.
Notes
- For a smoother texture, blend the egg mixture in a blender before pouring into the tin.
- You can substitute the sausage or bacon with cooked spinach or bell peppers for a vegetarian option.
- These egg bites freeze well. Place cooled bites on a baking sheet to freeze solid, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to one month.
