Simple recipe for baked egg bites using cottage cheese for a high-protein, low-carb breakfast perfect for meal prepping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (full fat or low fat)
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped spinach
  • 2 tablespoons chopped chives
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup standard muffin tin well.
  2. Place the cottage cheese in a blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth, about 30 seconds. This makes the bites fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs, salt, and pepper to the blender. Blend until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, spinach, and chives by hand in a bowl.
  5. Pour the egg mixture evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
  6. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the centers are set and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  7. Let the bites cool in the tin for 5 minutes before removing them.

Notes

  • For a smoother texture, ensure you blend the cottage cheese until no curds remain before adding the eggs.
  • These bites freeze well. Cool completely, then place them in a freezer-safe bag for up to one month. Reheat in the microwave.
  • You can substitute spinach with finely chopped bell peppers or cooked, crumbled turkey bacon.
