Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cottage cheese (2% or 4% fat)
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk (any type)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup chopped cooked vegetables (spinach, peppers, or broccoli)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
- Place the cottage cheese, eggs, milk, salt, and pepper into a blender. Blend until completely smooth.
- Stir the chopped vegetables and shredded cheese into the blended egg mixture.
- Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
- Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the centers are set and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Let the egg bites cool in the tin for 5 minutes before removing them.
Notes
- For the fluffiest texture, blend the cottage cheese mixture until no curds remain.
- If you prefer a firmer texture, you can skip blending and just whisk the ingredients together.
- These bites store well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
