Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 12 large 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)

Method
 

Preparation
  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.
  3. Gently stir in the shredded cheese, cooked bacon or ham, and spinach, if using.
  4. Pour the egg mixture evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Cooking
  1. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes or until the bites are set in the center and lightly golden.
  2. Let the egg bites cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before carefully removing them.

Notes

These egg bites keep well in your fridge for about 4–5 days in an airtight container. Freeze individual bites for up to 2 months. Reheat in the microwave for a minute when ready to enjoy.
