Method
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin or silicone egg bite molds with avocado oil to prevent sticking.
- Whisk the eggs and cottage cheese together in a large bowl until well combined with small bits of cottage cheese throughout. If using nutritional yeast, whisk it in here.
- Heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add a teaspoon of olive oil, then sauté the onions, bell peppers, and spinach (or kale) until just softened, about 3 to 4 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes.
- Add the cooked meat to the egg and cottage cheese mixture, followed by the cooled vegetables. Stir in the garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix everything until well combined.
- Divide the mixture evenly among the prepared muffin cups or silicone molds. Fill each one about three quarters of the way to allow room for rising.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the egg bites are set and lightly golden on top. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
- Let cool for a few minutes in the pan, then run a knife around the edges and remove the egg bites. Serve warm or store for meal prep.
Notes
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Can be frozen for up to 3 months. Two to three egg bites provide approximately 25 to 30 grams of protein. Use non-toxic cast iron muffin molds to avoid hormone-disrupting chemicals. Customize with different vegetables or spices according to taste.
