Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
  • 1/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Optional Vegetables

  • 1/4 cup spinach, chopped
  • 1/4 cup bell pepper, diced

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a muffin tin or line it with paper liners to prevent sticking and make removal easier.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, shredded cheese, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
  3. Add Vegetables: Stir in any optional ingredients like chopped spinach or diced bell peppers to incorporate extra flavor and nutrients.
  4. Fill Muffin Cups: Pour the egg mixture evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full to allow room for rising during baking.
  5. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until the egg bites are set and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the egg bites to cool for a few minutes before removing them from the tin. Serve warm or store for later consumption.

Notes

  • You can customize these egg bites by adding other vegetables, herbs, or cooked meats like bacon or sausage.
  • Use paper liners for easier cleanup and to prevent sticking.
  • These egg bites can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 1 month.
  • To reheat, microwave for 30-60 seconds until warmed through.
  • Non-dairy milk alternatives like almond or oat milk can be substituted as desired.
