Ingredients (Makes 6–9 Egg Bites)
3 large eggs — I recommend Erewhon Organic Pasture-Raised Nest-Laid Eggs for quality and flavor.
¼ cup cottage cheese — Good Culture is my go-to, with 14g protein per serving.
Salt and pepper to taste
Olive oil (for greasing the muffin tin)
💡Optional add-ins: shredded cheese, chopped spinach, diced red pepper, or your favorite veggies.
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Blend the base: In a NutriBullet or high-speed blender, combine the eggs, cottage cheese, salt, and pepper. Blend for 45–60 seconds until smooth and airy.
Prep the pan: Lightly grease your muffin tin with olive oil to prevent sticking.
💡I recommend using these adorable SILIVO Silicone Heart Muffin Pans or these Heart-Shaped Muffin Pans with Reinforced Frames. They make the egg bites not only tasty but super cute for kids or brunch guests!
Pour: Fill each muffin cup about ¾ full with the egg mixture.
Customize: Add shredded cheese, spinach, red pepper, or other mix-ins to each cup.
Bake: Place in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, until the egg bites are set but still tender.
Cool & Serve: Let them cool for a few minutes before removing from the tin. Enjoy warm, or store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
💡Pro Tips
For creamier bites: Don’t overbake, they should be just set in the center.
Meal prep hack: Freeze extras in a single layer, then reheat in the microwave or toaster oven.
Flavor boost: Try adding fresh herbs, sun-dried tomatoes, or a sprinkle of feta for a gourmet touch.
