Make easy, high-protein egg bites in a muffin tin. These copycat bites use cottage cheese for a fluffy texture, perfect for meal prep or a quick grab-and-go breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (2% or full fat)
  • 12 large eggs
  • 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup standard muffin tin or silicone muffin liners.
  2. In a blender, combine the cottage cheese and eggs. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. This step is key for a fluffy texture.
  3. Stir in the salt and pepper into the egg mixture.
  4. Distribute the crumbled bacon evenly among the prepared muffin cups, placing about 1 teaspoon in each.
  5. Pour the blended egg mixture over the bacon in each cup, filling them about three-quarters full.
  6. Top each cup with a mix of the Monterey Jack and cheddar cheeses.
  7. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the egg bites are set and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the egg bites cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before carefully removing them.
  9. Serve warm or cool completely for meal prepping.

Notes

  • For best results and maximum fluffiness, use a blender to fully incorporate the cottage cheese into the eggs.
  • These egg bites freeze well. Cool them completely, place them in a freezer-safe bag, and freeze for up to one month. Reheat in the microwave for 30–60 seconds.
  • You can substitute the bacon with cooked spinach or diced ham for variations.
