Description
These cottage cheese egg bites are protein-rich, creamy, and perfect for busy mornings. Made with blended cottage cheese, eggs, cheese, and veggies, they bake up soft and fluffy in a regular muffin tin with no special tools required.
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 cup finely chopped bell peppers
- 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for greasing the pan)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil.
- In a blender, combine eggs, cottage cheese, milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Blend until smooth (20–30 seconds).
- Pour the mixture into a large bowl and stir in shredded cheddar, bell peppers, and green onions.
- Divide the mixture evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, until egg bites are set in the center and lightly golden on top.
- Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then remove and serve warm or cool completely for storage.
Notes
- Use silicone muffin molds for easier removal and cleanup.
- Let egg bites cool slightly before removing to avoid sticking.
- Egg bites may puff up while baking and flatten as they cool — this is normal.
- Great for grab-and-go breakfasts or healthy snacks throughout the day.
