Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp cooking oil
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 1 cup spinach chopped
  • 1 bell pepper chopped
  • 1 cup mushrooms chopped
  • 18 oz cottage cheese
  • 6 eggs
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 tbsp butter divided into 24 portions

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 24-cup muffin tin with cooking oil.
  • In a pan, heat oil and sauté onion, spinach, bell pepper, and mushrooms until soft (about 8 minutes).
    1 tbsp cooking oil, 1 onion, 1 cup spinach, 1 bell pepper, 1 cup mushrooms
  • Add ½ tsp butter to each muffin tin and sprinkle cheddar cheese on top.
    4 tbsp butter, ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Blend cottage cheese and eggs for 2–3 minutes until smooth.
    18 oz cottage cheese, 6 eggs
  • Fill each muffin cup about ⅔ full with the egg mixture.
  • Add sautéed veggies evenly into each cup.
  • Sprinkle salt, pepper, and extra cheddar on top.
    Salt and pepper to taste, ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Bake for 30 minutes or until centers are set.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cottage cheese for a rich, fluffy texture.
  • Avoid over-baking to keep them soft and not rubbery.
  • Great for meal prep. Refrigerate the egg bites or freeze them for later.
  • No heavy cream needed; cottage cheese does the trick for these egg bites!
  • Reheat directly from fridge or freezer by placing in the oven while it preheats to 350°F, then bake 5 more minutes.
