Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

Cheese & Vegetables

  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
  • 1/2 cup diced vegetables (spinach, bell peppers, or mushrooms)

For Preparation

  • Cooking spray or oil for greasing

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 325°F (160°C) to ensure it’s ready when you finish preparing your ingredients.
  2. Prepare the Muffin Tin: Grease a silicone muffin tin or a regular muffin tin with cooking spray or oil to prevent the egg bites from sticking during baking.
  3. Whisk Eggs: In a medium bowl, whisk together the 6 large eggs, 1/2 cup cottage cheese, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and optional 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  4. Add Cheese and Vegetables: Fold in the 1/2 cup shredded cheese and 1/2 cup diced vegetables such as spinach, bell peppers, or mushrooms, ensuring even distribution throughout the mixture.
  5. Fill the Muffin Tins: Pour the egg mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full to allow room for puffing as they bake.
  6. Bake: Place the muffin tin into the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the edges are set, and the tops are slightly puffed and golden.
  7. Cool: Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the egg bites to cool for approximately 5 minutes, which helps them set further and makes removal easier.
  8. Remove from the Tin: Carefully pop each egg bite out of the muffin tin; if using a silicone mold, gently press from the bottom to release each bite.
  9. Serve Warm: Enjoy the egg bites warm or allow them to cool completely before storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for later consumption.

Notes

  • Use fresh, high-quality vegetables and cheese for the best flavor.
  • Do not overfill the muffin cups to allow the egg bites to puff up properly while baking.
  • Customize the flavor by adding spices like paprika or cayenne pepper for a bit of heat.
  • Experiment with different cheese varieties such as feta or pepper jack to vary the taste.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
  • Reheat frozen or refrigerated egg bites in the microwave for 30-60 seconds or in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes.
