Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 1 cup full fat cottage cheese
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- ¾ cup fresh spinach chopped
- ½ red bell pepper diced
- ½ small onion diced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees fahrenheit and spray your muffin pan with nonstick spray.
- Add the eggs, cottage cheese, salt, and pepper, to the blender and blend on low for 20 seconds and then 10 seconds on medium.
- Fill each muffin cup about ¾ full with the egg mixture then equally divide the bell pepper, onion, and spinach between the cups.
- Give them a slight stir so the spinach mixes in well.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until the middle of the eggs is very close to being finished. They will poof way past the edge of the muffin pan, but will settle back down when cooling as they will shrink a lot. This is normal.
- Remove the egg bites from the oven and let rest in the pan for 5 minutes before removing to finish cooling.
- Once cool, if freezing, line the egg bites up on a baking sheet (not touching) and let them freeze for about 2 hours before placing them in a baggie or freezer-friendly airtight container. Freeze up to 3 months.
Notes
To reheat from frozen, it’s best to let them thaw and simply microwave them for 20-30 seconds. Other methods are fine, this is just the quickest.
You can add or change the additions you include. Other delicious add-ins include sausage, bacon, Canadian bacon, broccoli, and tomato.
I would not go above 325 degrees to bake these, as the outsides will cook quicker than the middle, leaving you with overcooked and undercooked egg bites all at once.
