Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup cottage cheese
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup spinach, chopped
- 1/4 cup bell peppers, diced
- 2 tbsp green onions, sliced
- 2 tbsp fresh herbs, chives, basil, or dill
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin or silicone egg bite mold.
- In a blender, combine eggs, heavy cream, cottage cheese, salt, and pepper. Blend on low for 20 seconds until smooth but not frothy.
- Gently stir in shredded cheese and your choice of mix-ins by hand.
- Pour the egg bites recipe mixture into your prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
- Place the muffin tin in a larger baking dish and add hot water to create a water bath, reaching halfway up the sides of the muffin tin.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until centers are just set but still slightly jiggly.
- Cool in the tin for 5 minutes before gently removing with a spoon or small spatula.
Notes
For the creamiest egg bites recipe, don't skip the water bath! It creates gentle steam that helps them cook evenly. Try Mediterranean-style with feta, spinach, and sun-dried tomatoes, or go Southwest with pepper jack cheese, bell peppers, and a pinch of cumin.
