Equipment

  • Muffin tin
  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Oven

Ingredients
  

  • 8 large eggs
  • 1 cup cottage cheese any fat level
  • 1 cup shredded cheese cheddar, mozzarella, or blend
  • 1 cup chopped vegetables spinach, bell peppers, or onions
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika optional
  • fresh chives or parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 12‑cup muffin tin or line it with silicone liners so the Cottage Cheese Egg Bites release easily.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs with the salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until the mixture looks smooth and slightly frothy.
  • Fold in the cottage cheese, shredded cheese, chopped vegetables, and paprika, stirring gently until everything is evenly combined without overmixing.
  • Divide the egg mixture evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about three‑quarters full to allow room for the egg bites to puff up while baking.
  • Bake the Cottage Cheese Egg Bites for 20–25 minutes, or until the tops are set, lightly golden, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean.
  • Let the egg bites cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then carefully loosen the edges with a small knife and transfer them to a rack; garnish with fresh chives or parsley before serving.

Notes

    >For an extra smooth texture, blend the eggs and cottage cheese briefly with an immersion blender or in a regular blender before adding the vegetables and cheese. >Use silicone muffin liners if possible; they make it much easier to remove the egg bites without sticking. >Customize flavors with cooked bacon, ham, or different vegetables to create new Breakfast Brunch Recipes each week. >Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
