Main ingredients

6 large large eggs The structure of the egg bites comes from the eggs.
1 cup cottage cheese Keeps the bites tender and adds moisture.
1 cup shredded cheese Cheddar is classic but any good melting cheese works.
1/2 cup diced vegetables (spinach, bell peppers, onions, etc.) Use small dice for even cooking and distribution.
Salt and pepper to taste Seasoning enhances the flavors.
Cooking spray or oil for greasing the muffin tin Prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or oil.
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and cottage cheese until well combined.
Add shredded cheese, diced vegetables, salt, and pepper; mix until everything is evenly distributed.
Pour the mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the egg is set and the tops are golden.
Let cool slightly, then remove from the tin and serve warm or store for later.

These egg bites can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the fridge for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 2 months. Reheat gently in the microwave.
