Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend works great)
  • 1/2 cup finely diced vegetables (like spinach, bell peppers, or sautéed mushrooms)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional, but recommended)
  • Cooking spray or oil for greasing the muffin tin

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Silicone or regular muffin tin
  • bowl
  • Knife

Method
 

Instructions
  1. First things first, preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). This lower temperature is key to cooking the eggs gently. Thoroughly grease a silicone or regular muffin tin with cooking spray. Silicone molds work exceptionally well for easy removal.
  2. In a blender, combine the 6 large eggs, 1/2 cup of cottage cheese, salt, pepper, and optional garlic powder. Blend on high for about 30 to 45 seconds, or until the mixture is completely smooth and slightly frothy. You should see no lumps of cottage cheese remaining. This step is the secret to the light, airy texture.
  3. Pour the blended egg mixture into a bowl. Gently fold in the 1/2 cup of shredded cheese and your 1/2 cup of diced vegetables. Stir until everything is just evenly distributed; be careful not to overmix.
  4. Carefully pour the egg mixture into your prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters of the way full. They will puff up as they bake, so leaving a little room at the top is important.
  5. Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. The egg bites are done when the centers are set and the edges are lightly golden. They should look slightly puffed.
  6. Remove the tin from the oven and let the egg bites cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. They will deflate slightly as they cool—this is normal. Carefully run a knife around the edge of each bite if using a metal tin, or simply pop them out of a silicone mold. Enjoy them warm!

Notes

The secret to the velvety texture is to blend the eggs and cottage cheese until completely smooth. A silicone muffin mold is highly recommended to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal. If using high-moisture vegetables like fresh spinach or mushrooms, it’s best to sauté them beforehand to cook off excess liquid and prevent watery bites.
