Servings: 12 egg bites
Equipment
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 2/3 cup cottage cheese I use 2% fat
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- black pepper or other seasonings as desired
- salt optional but not needed
Instructions
- Fill a baking pan halfway with hot water and place it on the bottom rack of your oven. This will add steam while baking and keep egg bites soft.
- Position another oven rack to the middle position and pre-heat oven to 350 F.
- Add 12 silicone liners to a muffin pan. If you don't have silicone liners, grease your muffin pan with cooking spray. Set aside.
- Add eggs, cottage cheese, shredded cheese, and seasonings to a blender. Blend until smooth, about 20-30 seconds.
- Pour egg mixture into muffin liners, filling each about 3/4 of the way up. Sprinkle additional toppings as desired. Gently press additional toppings into the batter so they're well distributed throughout each egg bite.
- Transfer egg bites to your oven and bake for 18-22 minutes or until egg bites are set. They shouldn't jiggle when you gently shake the tray.
- Remove egg bites from oven and let them cool for 5 minutes in the pan. Remove from pan and transfer to a wire rack to cool.
