Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Egg Mixture
  • 4 large large eggs
  • 1 cup cottage cheese preferably full-fat for creaminess
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese or your favorite cheese
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt adjust to taste
  • ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
Veggies
  • ½ cup chopped spinach fresh or thawed frozen
  • ¼ cup diced red bell pepper
Miscellaneous
  • as needed Non-stick spray or silicone muffin tin

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a muffin tin with non-stick spray or use a silicone muffin mold to prevent sticking.
  2. In a blender or large bowl, combine the eggs, cottage cheese, shredded cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Blend or whisk until smooth and well incorporated.
  3. Gently fold in the chopped spinach and diced red bell pepper, ensuring even distribution throughout the mixture.
  4. Pour the mixture evenly into the muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full.
Baking
  1. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  2. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before removing from the tin. Serve warm, or let cool completely before storing for later.

Notes

These egg bites are best served warm. Serve them on their own, or pair with your favorite sauce. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days, or freeze for up to three months.
