Step 1

In a mixing bowl, separate the egg whites from the yolks. You can reserve the yolks for another use (like French toast or creme brûlée).

Step 2

Whisk in the cottage cheese, bacon bits, and green onion.

Step 3

In a well greased muffin pan, spoon in the batter.

Step 4

Sprinkle salt and pepper over the top along with the cheddar cheese, if using.

Step 5

Bake at 350°F for 25 minutes or until the eggs look set.

Step 6

The bites will puff at the end of the baking time but will deflate some as they cool. Allow them to cool before removing from the pan.
