Ingredients
Scale
- 18 eggs
- 1 cup cottage cheese (full fat)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- bacon, chives, tomatoes, sausage, spinach, etc.
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Place a cookie sheet underneath the rack and fill with water. This will produce steam and create a more humid environment.
- Grease a muffin tin. For best results, use a silicon muffin tin.
- Add the eggs, cottage cheese, shredded cheese, and seasonings to a food processor or blender. Blend until smooth. Be careful not to over-blend and incorporate too much air. This can cause the egg bites to deflate.
- Pour the egg mixture into the muffin cups. Fill up each cup about half way. Add your bacon, chives, and any other ingredients on top.
- Place the muffin tin in the oven for around 35–37 minutes. You want them to be totally set.
- Remove from the oven and enjoy.
Notes
I place mine on a cookie sheet with parchment paper and put into the freezer to freeze. I think place in gallon zip loc bags. This allows me to pull out as many as we might need. I thaw in the refrigerator and heat in the microwave for about a minute before serving.
