Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your preference)
- 1/2 cup diced vegetables (like bell peppers, spinach, or onions)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking spray or muffin tin liners
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare your muffin tin by either spraying it with cooking spray or lining it with muffin liners.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the 6 large eggs until well beaten.
- Stir in the cottage cheese, shredded cheese, diced vegetables, and season with salt and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the egg bites are set and just beginning to turn golden on top.
- Let them cool slightly before removing from the tin. Serve warm or store in the fridge for easy meal prep.
Notes
For added flavor, consider sprinkling herbs like chives or cilantro into the egg mixture. You can also swap cottage cheese for Greek yogurt or add cooked bacon or sausage for a heartier option.
