Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 12 cup muffin tin generously with a non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

Combine the eggs, cottage cheese, salt and pepper together in a blender.  Blend until smooth.

Step 3

Then pour into a bowl and stir in the shredded gruyere cheese.

Step 4

Pour this mixture evenly into the muffin tins.  Fill each tin approximately 2/3 of the way full as the eggs will rise as they cook.

Step 5

Top each egg bite with the chopped bacon and gently press them down with a spoon so they are in the egg mixture and not just on top.

Step 6

Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the eggs are set.

Step 7

Remove the pan from the oven and let the egg bites rest for 5-10 minutes.  Gently remove the egg bites from the pan with a spoon and then they are ready to serve and enjoy!
