Classic Egg Bites

Nick loves his egg bites and sent me this dude’s video on Instagram for me to try.  They turned out fantastic! I made 3 different kinds: Bacon & Gruyere, Sausage, Pepper, & Pepperjack, and Bacon, Cheddar, & Chive. The sausage one was Nick’s favorite.

INGREDIENTS

12 eggs
1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 tsp pepper
1 tsp salt
Optional add-ins: Bacon, chives, peppers, sausage, pepper jack, gruyere, anything you want!

DIRECTIONS

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees and place a brownie tray with water into the oven. This will create a more humid environment. Grease a muffin tin* while you are at it.

  • Add the eggs, cottage cheese, shredded cheese, and seasoning to a food processor or blender. Blend until smooth. Be careful here not to over-blend and incorporate too much air. This can cause the egg bites to deflate.

  • Pour the egg mixture into the muffin cups. Fill up each cup about half way. If you want to add in bacon or any veg, do that now!

  • Place the muffin tin in the oven for around 30-32 minutes. You want them to be totally set.

*For best results use a silicon muffin tin (I got a super cute sprinkle printed one from Target).
