Egg Bites with Cottage Cheese

eggs

cottage cheese (I used 2% fat)

salt

black pepper

basil (finely chopped)

Preheat oven to 350 F and line muffin tin with parchment paper liners. Set aside.

In a blender or food processor, add eggs, cottage cheese, salt and pepper. Blend until smooth. Then add basil and give blender a few shakes to distribute it.

Pour egg mixture into prepared muffin pan and bake for 25-28 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the middle of center egg bites in the pan comes out clean and tops are slightly golden and egg bites have puffed up.

Remove from the oven and enjoy.

This is the 2nd time that I made these egg bites. I over filled the muffin cups (with paper liners) and didn't use a tray under the tin. I learned my lesson! This time I used cute silicone bunt cups on a tray. I chopped up some fresh spinach, threw in a bit of shredded cheese blend, a bit of smoked paprika and 2 types of pepper. This made about 24 egg bites because of the bunt cups hold less mixture. I ate about 4 of these. Yummy!! Thanks, Olena!!

YUM! I added some chopped bell peppers, spinach, and a sprinkle of parm. Easy go to breakfast meal prep! :)

LOVED IT! So easy and quick and healthy and cute. My 1st grade daughter loved it too. From now on I will be giving one of these in addition to a carb-heavy cereal that she always eats, to make her breakfast more nutritious. Thank you!

I added some diced ham, shredded Swiss, and chopped baby spinach and the egg bites baked up perfectly.  I used a silicone muffin pan so no need for nonstick spray.  They popped out easily and only browned slightly on top.   Thanks for sharing!

Excellent recipe! I sauteed some onion and peppers and chopped tomatoes that were languishing in my fridge and added some to each muffin cup before poring in egg mixture. Lastly I had 3 pieces of leftover bacon which I divided up as well. Such an easy and healthy breakfast!

Very tasty and so easy to make.  And it's healthy!  Thanks, Olena.
