Ingredients

You don’t need fancy stuff — just these basics!

• 12 large eggs
• 1 cup cottage cheese (full fat or low fat)
• 1/2 cup milk (any kind)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
• 1/2 cup cooked, crumbled bacon or diced ham
• 1/4 cup finely chopped spinach (optional)

Directions

Let’s get cooking! Follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin or silicone molds.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, milk, salt, and pepper until completely smooth. This step helps create that fluffy texture.
3. Gently stir in the shredded cheese, cooked bacon or ham, and spinach, if using. Don’t overmix; we want those layers of flavor.
4. Pour the egg mixture evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
5. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the bites are set in the center and lightly golden. A toothpick inserted near the center should come out clean.
6. Let the egg bites cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before carefully removing them.
7. Serve warm immediately, or cool completely before storing for meal prep.
