Make high-protein, fluffy egg bites similar to the Starbucks version using cottage cheese. These are simple to prepare and perfect for meal prepping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk or unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
  • 1/2 cup cooked, crumbled bacon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup standard muffin tin or silicone mold.
  2. Combine the cottage cheese, eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a blender. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth, about 30 seconds. This step helps create a smooth texture.
  3. If using mix-ins like bacon or spinach, stir them into the blended egg mixture.
  4. Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese on top of each cup.
  5. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. The egg bites are done when they are set in the center and slightly puffed.
  6. Remove the tin from the oven and let the egg bites cool in the tin for 5 minutes before removing them.

Notes

  • For a smoother texture, you can strain the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve before pouring into the muffin tin.
  • To freeze, let the egg bites cool completely, then place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. Reheat from frozen in the microwave for 60 to 90 seconds.
  • If you want a richer flavor, substitute half the cottage cheese with cream cheese.
