Higher Protein Egg Bites
Ingredients
- 9 to 10 large eggs
- 1.5 cup cottage cheese
- ½ cup cheese
- ¼ tsp salt
- ⅛ tsp pepper
Plus whatever mix-ins you want! Some Ideas: bacon, diced peppers, spinach, sausage, diced onions, mushrooms, turkey bacon, diced tomatoes, small pieces of broccoli.
Get creative with your mix-ins! I do encourage to try new things/variations. I like to cook them first, but it’s up to you!
Instructions
- Spray a muffin pan lightly and heat the oven to 350°F.
- Add the eggs, cottage cheese, cheese, salt, and pepper to a blender and blend until smooth. (If you don’t want to blend, you don’t have to but I like it that way!)
- Divide the egg mixture into the cups of the muffin pan, filling each cup just over halfway. Add your mix-ins on top, if using.
- Bake for 20-22 minutes and allow the egg bites to cool before you pop them out.
Notes
- Cheese brings a creaminess to the bites that enhance the flavor. Cheddar, mozzarella, feta, goat, gruyère
- If you are refraining from dairy, then disregard this recipe
