Make these high-protein egg bites at home using cottage cheese for a velvety texture, perfect for quick, grab-and-go breakfasts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional mix-ins (e.g., cooked bacon bits, spinach)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
  2. Combine the cottage cheese and eggs in a blender. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. This step creates the velvety texture.
  3. Pour the blended mixture into a bowl. Stir in the shredded cheese, salt, and pepper. If using, fold in any optional mix-ins.
  4. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
  5. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the egg bites are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Let the egg bites cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before removing them.
  7. Store cooled egg bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for meal prep.

Notes

  • For a smoother texture mimicking sous-vide, ensure you blend the cottage cheese and eggs thoroughly until no curds remain.
  • These low carb egg muffins reheat well in the microwave in 30-second intervals.
  • You can substitute cottage cheese with Greek yogurt for a similar high protein breakfast, though the texture may vary slightly.
