Equipment

large blender
12-cup muffin pan
silicone muffin liners (or use a silicone muffin pan)

Ingredients

8 large eggs
¾ cup cottage cheese I use whole milk but 2% works too
¾ cup shredded gruyere and sharp cheddar (divided) I like a 1:1 ratio of both cheeses
½ tsp hot sauce I use Frank's Red Hot
5 slices cooked bacon chopped

Instructions

Position oven rack to the middle and pre-heat to 350 F. Line a muffin pan with silicone liners and set aside.
To a blender, add eggs, cottage cheese, ¼ cup shredded cheese, and hot sauce. Blend until completely smooth.
Pour into prepared muffin pan, filling each about 3/4 of the way to the top until all the egg mixture is used.
Top with bacon and remaining shredded cheese, distributing evenly amongst egg bites. Gently press them down into the egg bites if needed.
Transfer to the oven and bake for 18-23 minutes or until egg bites look completely set. They shouldn’t jiggle when you gently shake the pan.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5-minutes in the pan. Remove the egg bites from the pan (but keep them in the silicone liners) and cool on a wire rack. You can eat them warm or wait for them to cool to room temperature.

Notes

Depending on your hunger, a serving size is 2-3 egg bites.
Let these cool to room temperature before storing in the fridge. They'll stay good for up to five days. Re-heat for 3-5 minutes in the air fryer at 350 F, or in the microwave for 45-seconds.
