Make these fluffy, high-protein egg bites at home using cottage cheese for a texture better than commercial versions. They are perfect for quick breakfasts and easy meal prepping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (2% or full fat)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup milk (any kind)
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup cooked, crumbled bacon (optional, for flavor variation)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 12-cup standard muffin tin or silicone mold.
  2. In a blender, combine the cottage cheese, milk, eggs, salt, and pepper. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth, about 30 seconds. This step creates the fluffy texture.
  3. If using bacon, stir the crumbled bacon into the smooth egg mixture in a bowl.
  4. Divide the cheese evenly among the 12 muffin cups, placing about 1 teaspoon of cheese in the bottom of each cup.
  5. Carefully pour the egg mixture over the cheese in each cup, filling them about three-quarters full.
  6. Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the egg bites are set and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
  7. Remove the tin from the oven and let the egg bites cool in the tin for 5 minutes before carefully removing them.
  8. Cool completely before storing for meal prep.

Notes

  • For a Starbucks copycat texture, ensure your cottage cheese is fully blended until smooth.
  • These egg bites freeze well. Cool them completely, then place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. Reheat in the microwave for 30 to 60 seconds.
  • You can substitute the bacon with cooked spinach (squeezed dry) or diced ham for different flavor profiles.
  • If you do not have a blender, you can use an immersion blender or whisk vigorously until the cottage cheese curds are mostly broken down.
