Ingredients
Scale
12 large eggs
1/2 cup cottage cheese
1/4 cup milk (any kind)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup cooked, crumbled bacon or sausage (or cooked vegetables like spinach/broccoli)
1/2 cup shredded cheese (Cheddar or Monterey Jack)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup standard muffin tin.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, milk, salt, and pepper until completely smooth. This step helps create fluffy egg bites.
Stir in your cooked meat or vegetables and half of the shredded cheese.
Divide the mixture evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese over the top of each cup.
Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the egg bites are set and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
Let the egg bites cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before carefully removing them.
Serve warm, or cool completely for meal prep.
Notes
For a texture similar to Starbucks egg bites, blend the egg mixture in a blender until very smooth before adding mix-ins.
To freeze these egg bites, cool them completely, then place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. They keep well for up to one month.
Reheat frozen egg bites in the microwave for 45 to 60 seconds.
