Description
These Cottage Cheese Egg Bites are easy to make with just a few simple ingredients. They resemble Starbucks egg bites and are made with eggs, cottage cheese, bacon, and chives. Great for meal prep, 14 grams of protein per serving and so good!
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 large eggs
- 3/4 cup cottage cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/3 cup cooked, chopped bacon
- 1/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and spray a 12-cup silicone or metal muffin pan with cooking spray.
- Add the eggs, cottage cheese, salt, and pepper to a high-speed blender and blend on high until smooth and combined.
- Divide the egg mixture evenly between the muffin cups filling each one a little more than halfway full. Make sure not to overfill them. Top each egg bite with some bacon, cheddar cheese, and chives.
- Bake the egg bites for 22-25 minutes until the eggs are set and the edges are golden. Remove and let cool.
- Carefully remove the egg bites from the pan and enjoy!
Notes
- I suggest using a silicone muffin pan for these egg bites since it is much easier to pop them out once they are done.
- Make sure not to overfill the muffin cups with the egg mixture. A little more then halfway is fine. You should have just enough to fill 12 muffin cups.
- Bake until the egg bites are set in the middle and golden around the edges. In my oven, they tool about 22 minutes at 350°F.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat portions in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds until warmed through.
