Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded Gruyère cheese or cheese of choice
  • 1/4 cup cooked and crumbled bacon optional
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 cup diced vegetables e.g., spinach, red bell peppers, or mushrooms - optional

Equipment

  • Blender or food processor
  • Silicone muffin molds or a muffin tin (greased)
  • Baking sheet
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven:
  2. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Place a baking sheet on the middle rack to serve as a water bath (this helps keep the egg bites moist).
  3. Prepare the egg mixture:
  4. In a blender, combine the eggs, cottage cheese, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and frothy.
  5. Assemble the egg bites:
  6. If using bacon or vegetables, divide them evenly into the silicone molds or greased muffin tin. Pour the blended egg mixture over the fillings, filling each mold about 3/4 full.
  7. Bake in a water bath:
  8. Place the filled molds or muffin tin on the baking sheet. Carefully pour hot water into the sheet to create a water bath. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the egg bites are set and slightly golden on top.
  9. Cool and serve:
  10. Allow the egg bites to cool for a few minutes before removing them from the molds. Serve warm, or store in the fridge for up to 5 days for an easy, reheatable breakfast.
