Ingredients
  

For the Egg Bites
  • 8 eggs
  • 1 cup cottage cheese any fat content between 0% - 2% work best
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
For the Toppings
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese
  • 1 cup mix-ins of choice e.g. chopped spinach, diced peppers, broccoli florets, cooked sausage, ham

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Silicone muffin tray
  • High-powered blender
  • Measuring cups
  • Measuring spoons
  • Spoon

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a silicone muffin tray with non-stick cooking spray or a little oil.
  2. In a high-powered blender, combine the eggs, cottage cheese, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Blend until smooth.
  3. Pour about ¼ cup of the egg mixture into each cavity of the prepared muffin tray.
  4. Top each cup with shredded cheese and your desired mix-ins. Gently mix the toppings into the egg cups using the back of a spoon. You can add an extra sprinkle of cheese on top if you like.
  5. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the egg bites are set and no longer jiggly. Let them cool slightly before removing them from the tray.

Notes

For a variation, you can substitute whole eggs with about 1.5 cups of egg whites (approximately 12 egg whites). Note that this may result in a slightly wetter texture.
Store these egg bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator. While freezing is possible, the texture may become watery upon thawing. If you choose to freeze them, ensure they are in an airtight container and thaw overnight in the fridge.
