Ingredients

Base Recipe

9 eggs
1 cup cottage cheese
3/4 cup cheddar cheese shredded
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper

with Mix-Ins

8 eggs
1 cup cottage cheese
3/4 cup cheddar cheese shredded
1 cup optional mix-ins: diced peppers, chopped spinach or kale, green onion, cooked ground sausage, mushrooms, tomatoes, diced ham, diced turkey, etc!
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Use a silicone muffin pan or prep a 12 tin muffin pan using muffin liners or non-stick spray and set aside.
Add eggs, cottage cheese, cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper to a high speed blender. Blend until smooth, about 30 seconds.
Divide blended egg and cottage cheese mixture into pan evenly. Sprinkle in optional add-ins into each cup and mix gently if desired.
Bake 22-25 minutes until egg has set and top is very lightly golden brown.

Notes

To Store:

Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container for up to 4-5 days. To reheat, microwave for 30 seconds, and then 15-30 second increments until heated through.

Freezer: Transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container and remove as much air as possible. Freeze for up to 3 months. To reheat, microwave in 30-60 increments until heated through. Or, reheat in the oven at 350 degrees for about 10-15 minutes.

If your egg bites are sticking, I highly recommend using a silicone muffin pan or silicone muffin liners.
