Cottage Cheese Egg Bites

• servings: 12 servings
• active time: 5 minutes
• total time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

8-10 large eggs*

1 cup cottage cheese

1/2 tsp fine sea salt (or added to taste)

1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper (or to taste)

1/2 cup shredded cheese (such as medium cheddar or mozzarella)

1/2-1 cup optional add-ins (see notes*)

Directions

Preheat - Preheat oven to 325˚F. Spray a non-stick muffin tin with cooking spray. If you use silicone muffin cups, you don’t need to spray.

Blend - In a blender, combine eggs, cottage cheese, salt and pepper and blend together until well combined.

Divide cheese or your desired toppings to each cup then divide the egg mixture evenly into each cup, filling about 3/4 full and bake until the edges and centers are fully set.

Bake at 325˚F for 22-25 minutes or until tops are set. You can also put these in the air fryer at 300˚F for 12-14 minutes (cover lightly with foil if browning too fast). Let the egg bites rest in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before removing.
