Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup (120g) cottage cheese (full-fat preferred, or low-fat/ricotta as substitute)
  • 1/2 cup (60g) shredded cheese (Monterey Jack, Gruyère, Swiss, or cheddar)
  • 3 strips cooked bacon, chopped (or turkey bacon/ham as substitute)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) milk or half-and-half (dairy-free milk works)
  • Nonstick spray or melted butter (for greasing molds)
  • Optional add-ins: chopped baby spinach, sautéed bell peppers, diced onions, chopped tomato, leftover roasted veggies

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Fill a large baking dish or roasting pan with about 1 inch of hot water and place it on the lower oven rack to create steam.
  2. Generously grease a muffin tin or silicone egg bite mold with nonstick spray or melted butter.
  3. In a blender, combine eggs, cottage cheese, shredded cheese, milk or half-and-half, salt, and black pepper. Blend until completely smooth (about 30-45 seconds).
  4. Stir in chopped cooked bacon and any optional add-ins by hand (do not blend).
  5. Pour the egg mixture into each cup of the mold, filling about 3/4 full.
  6. Place the muffin tin or mold on the middle rack, directly above the water bath. Bake for 22-28 minutes, until just set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  7. Let cool for 5-10 minutes before removing from molds. Gently pop out egg bites or use a thin spatula if needed.
  8. Serve warm, or cool completely before storing in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Notes

For best texture, always blend the egg mixture until completely smooth and use a steam bath in the oven. Stir in add-ins by hand to preserve their texture and color. Double the recipe for meal prep and freeze extras. Use silicone molds for easy release and cleanup. Check for doneness early, as ovens vary.
