Delicious and protein-packed cottage cheese egg bites made with a blend of eggs, cottage cheese, shredded cheese, and flavorful spices, enhanced with vegetables and optional chicken sausage. These savory bites are baked to perfection, offering a creamy and satisfying breakfast or snack option.

Ingredients

Egg Mixture

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or Swiss)
  • ¼ cup milk
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder

Add-ins

  • ½ cup finely chopped vegetables (bell peppers, spinach, mushrooms)
  • ½ cup cooked chicken sausage (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and grease a muffin tin or line it with a silicone muffin tray to prevent sticking.
  2. Blend the Ingredients: In a blender, combine the eggs, cottage cheese, shredded cheese, milk, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring all flavors are well incorporated.
  3. Add Mix-ins: Pour the blended egg mixture into a bowl. Gently fold in the finely chopped vegetables and the cooked chicken sausage if using, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture.
  4. Fill the Muffin Tin: Spoon the mixture evenly into 12 muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full to allow room for the bites to puff up while baking.
  5. Bake the Egg Bites: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the egg bites are set firmly and have a slightly golden color on top.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the egg bites cool for 5 minutes. Gently remove them from the tin and serve warm, or store leftovers for later consumption.

Notes

  • You can customize the vegetables according to your preference or seasonal availability.
  • For a vegetarian version, omit the chicken sausage or replace it with a plant-based protein.
  • These egg bites can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 1 month.
  • Reheat gently in a microwave or oven before serving.
  • Using a silicone muffin tray makes removal easier and is less messy than greasing a metal tin.
