Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped spinach
  • 1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
  • 2 tbsp chopped green onions
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • Nonstick cooking spray

Equipment

  • 12-cup muffin tin
  • mixing bowl
  • whisk
  • spoon or spatula
  • oven
  • nonstick spray
  • butter knife

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until well combined and slightly frothy.
  3. Stir in the cottage cheese, cheddar, Parmesan, spinach, bell pepper, green onions, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until everything is evenly mixed.
  4. Pour the mixture evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
  5. Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the egg bites are set and lightly golden on top.
  6. Remove from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes to firm up.
  7. Run a butter knife around the edges of each egg bite to loosen, then remove and serve warm or at room temperature.
  8. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days; reheat in the microwave for 20–30 seconds.

Use full-fat cottage cheese for extra creaminess. Store in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for 2 months. Easily customizable—try adding cooked bacon, mushrooms, or kale for variety.
