Bacon Egg and Cheese Egg Bites

Step 1

Preheat oven to 300 degrees.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Cut bacon into small pieces. Cook until crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Remove and set aside on a paper-towel-lined plate.

Step 3

In a blender, add eggs, salt, pepper, cottage cheese, and hot sauce. Puree until smooth.

Step 4

Spray a muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray. Pour egg mixture about 2/3 full. Sprinkle in bacon and cheese and stir using a spoon or butter knife.

Step 5

Carefully heat some water in the microwave. Carefully pour into a 9 x 13 pan. Place in the bottom rack of the oven. This is what will create steam in order to slowly temper and cook the eggs.

Step 6

Place the muffin tin on another oven rack. Bake for 20-23 minutes or until eggs are cooked through. Remove from the oven and let set up for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 7

Serve with salsa, sour cream, and fresh cilantro.
