Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

8 large eggs
3/4 cup cottage cheese 4% milkfat recommended
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/3 cup cooked, chopped bacon
1/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

Equipment

High-speed blender
12-cup silicone or metal muffin pan
Cooking spray

Method

Preheat the oven to 350°F and generously spray a 12-cup silicone or metal muffin pan with cooking spray.
Add the eggs, cottage cheese, salt, and pepper to a high-speed blender and blend on high for about 30 seconds until smooth and completely combined with no visible cottage cheese curds.
Divide the egg mixture evenly between the muffin cups, filling each one a little more than halfway full. Do not overfill as the eggs will rise during baking.
Top each egg bite with some bacon, cheddar cheese, and chives, distributing the toppings evenly among all 12 cups.
Bake the egg bites for 22-25 minutes until the eggs are set in the middle and the edges are golden brown. Start checking at the 20-minute mark as ovens vary.
Remove from the oven and let cool for about 5 minutes. Carefully remove the egg bites from the pan and enjoy warm, or let cool completely before storing.

Notes

Use 4% milkfat cottage cheese for best results - there is no substitute that will give the same fluffy texture. Silicone muffin pans work best for easy removal. Can substitute 16oz liquid eggs from a carton for fresh eggs. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or freeze individually wrapped for up to 2 months. Reheat in microwave for 15-20 seconds.
