Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a muffin tin with nonstick spray or butter.
In a blender, combine the eggs, cottage cheese, and shredded cheddar cheese. Blend until smooth and creamy. You can also add a pinch of salt or garlic powder for extra flavor if desired.
Pour the egg mixture into the greased muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Add any toppings you like—chopped veggies like bell peppers or spinach, cooked sausage or bacon, or even a little extra cheese. Make sure to press them down gently so they settle into the egg mixture.
Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the egg bites are set in the middle and slightly golden around the edges.
Allow the egg bites to cool slightly before serving. They should pop right out of the muffin tin with ease!

Notes

Preventing Sticking: To avoid the egg bites sticking to the pan, use silicone muffin molds or grease the muffin tin.

Texture Tips: Blending the egg mixture until smooth ensures a fluffy and uniform texture in your egg bites.

Meal Prep Friendly: These egg bites are great for meal prepping. Make a batch ahead of time and store them in the fridge or freezer for quick, nutritious meals on busy days.

Serving Suggestions: Pair these egg bites with fresh fruit, whole-grain toast, or a smoothie for a balanced meal.
