Print Recipe

These protein-packed, fluffy egg bites are a quick and easy breakfast solution for busy school mornings. Made with simple ingredients like eggs, cottage cheese, and cheddar, they come together in under 30 minutes and are perfect for meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, room temperature
  • ½ cup full-fat cottage cheese
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Optional: ¼ cup cooked bacon crumbles
  • Optional: 2 tablespoons chopped chives
  • Optional: ¼ cup diced bell peppers

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Generously grease a 12-cup muffin tin with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. Add ½ cup cottage cheese to a blender and blend on high for about 30 seconds until completely smooth.
  3. Add 6 large eggs, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ⅛ teaspoon pepper to the blender. Blend on low for about 15 seconds until just combined. Do not over-blend.
  4. Pour the egg mixture into a mixing bowl. Gently fold in ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese with a spatula. Fold in any optional add-ins if using.
  5. Pour the mixture evenly into the 12 muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
  6. Bake for 18-22 minutes, until edges are set and centers are just slightly jiggly.
  7. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Run a knife around the edges to loosen, then remove from pan.
  8. Serve warm or let cool completely for storage.

Notes

For extra creaminess, use a water bath: place muffin tin in a larger baking dish and pour hot water halfway up the sides. Do not over-bake; remove when centers are slightly jiggly. Let rest 5 minutes before removing from pan. Store in refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
