Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease muffin tins well with cooking spray or olive oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Crack 6 large eggs into a large mixing bowl and whisk vigorously for about 30 seconds until completely uniform and slightly frothy.
  3. Add the cottage cheese to the eggs and mix until just combined for a smooth, creamy base.
  4. Gently fold in the chopped spinach and diced bell peppers, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture.
  5. Pour the mixture into prepared muffin tins, filling each cup about three-quarters full to allow room for rising.
  6. Bake for 18-20 minutes until the centers are set and tops are lightly golden. Check at 18 minutes as ovens vary.
  7. Let the egg bites cool for 3-4 minutes before gently removing them from the tins. Serve warm or cold.
