Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 8-10 large eggs
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1/2 tsp fine sea salt or added to taste
  • 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper or to taste
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese such as medium cheddar or mozzarella
  • 1/2-1 cup optional add-ins

Equipment

  • non-stick muffin tin
  • blender

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 325˚F and prepare a non-stick muffin tin by spraying it with cooking spray, or use silicone muffin cups without spraying.
Mixing
  1. In a blender, combine the eggs, cottage cheese, salt, and pepper; blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Baking
  1. Distribute shredded cheese or other desired add-ins into each muffin cup, then equally fill each cup about 3/4 full with the egg mixture.
  2. Bake at 325˚F for 22-25 minutes until the tops and centers are set, or air fry at 300˚F for 12-14 minutes. Allow the egg bites to rest in the tin for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Customize your egg bites with various add-ins like cooked vegetables, bacon bits, or herbs. If using an air fryer, cover lightly with foil if they are browning too quickly.
