Egg Mixture
- 8 large eggs
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- ¾ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Grease a silicone muffin pan or line a regular muffin pan with parchment liners to prevent sticking.

- Fill Muffin Wells: Pour the blended egg mixture evenly into the 12 muffin wells, dividing the batter to ensure each is filled.
- Bake: Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the egg bites are fully set and slightly golden on top.
Notes
- Using a blender ensures a smooth, fluffy texture.
- You can customize the recipe by adding cooked bacon, spinach, or herbs before baking.
- Allow the egg bites to cool slightly before removing from the pan to maintain shape.
- These egg bites can be refrigerated for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 1 month.
