Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 6 large eggs
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese
Add-ins
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/3 cup chopped spinach
- 1/4 cup diced bell pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Optional Protein
- 1/4 cup cooked bacon or turkey sausage
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with silicone molds to prevent sticking.
- Blend Eggs and Dairy: In a blender, combine the eggs, Greek yogurt, and cottage cheese. Blend the mixture until it is smooth and frothy, ensuring a creamy texture for the bites.
- Mix in Cheeses and Veggies: Pour the blended mixture into a large bowl. Stir in shredded cheddar cheese, chopped spinach, and diced bell pepper. Season with salt and black pepper for balanced flavor.
- Fill Muffin Cups: Evenly pour the mixture into each muffin cup. If using, add cooked bacon or turkey sausage to each cup for extra protein and flavor.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 22 to 25 minutes, or until the centers are set and the tops become lightly golden. Allow the egg bites to cool for 5 minutes before removing them from the tin.
Notes
- You can substitute cheddar cheese with any cheese of your preference such as mozzarella or pepper jack.
- For a vegetarian option, omit the bacon or turkey sausage.
- These egg bites can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days; reheat before serving.
- If you prefer, you can add other veggies like mushrooms or tomatoes for additional flavor and nutrition.
