Make these easy, high-protein egg bites in a muffin tin. They are perfect for meal prep and taste better than store-bought versions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 large eggs
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (full fat recommended for fluffiness)
  • 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/4 cup shredded white cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup cooked, crumbled bacon or sausage
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • Cooking spray or butter for the muffin tin

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or butter.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until they are completely smooth and slightly frothy.
  3. Add the cottage cheese, salt, and pepper to the eggs. Whisk until the mixture is well combined and mostly smooth. Do not overmix; a few small curds of cottage cheese are fine.
  4. Stir in the shredded Monterey Jack cheese, white cheddar cheese, and the cooked bacon or sausage into the egg mixture.
  5. Divide the mixture evenly among the 12 prepared muffin cups. Fill each cup about three-quarters full.
  6. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the egg bites are set in the center and lightly golden on top. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
  7. Remove the tin from the oven and let the egg bites cool in the tin for 5 minutes before carefully removing them.
  8. Serve warm or cool completely for meal prepping.

Notes

  • For the fluffiest texture, use a blender to combine the eggs and cottage cheese until completely smooth before adding the other ingredients.
  • These egg bites freeze well. Place cooled bites in a freezer-safe bag and freeze for up to one month. Reheat from frozen in the microwave for 60 to 90 seconds.
  • Substitute spinach or diced bell peppers for the meat to make a vegetarian, low-carb breakfast option.
