Step 1

Set the oven to 325°F (163°C).

Step 2

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth.

Step 3

Add cooked bacon bits, cottage cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper. Whisk everything until well combined.

Step 4

Spray a 24-cup mini muffin pan with cooking oil to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Pour the egg mixture into a large measuring cup with a pour spout. Evenly distribute the egg mixture among the 24 mini muffin cups. Note* I suggest stiring the egg mixture a few times while pouring so the ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 6

Place the muffin pan on the upper rack of the oven.

Step 7

Bake for 23–25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of an egg bite comes out clean and the edges of the egg bites slightly turn golden brown.

Step 8

Let the egg bites cool for a few minutes before carefully removing them from the muffin pan. Remove them while still warm to prevent sticking.
