Gather These Simple Ingredients

To whip up this delightful recipe, you will need:

6 large eggs
1/2 cup cottage cheese
1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
1/2 cup cooked spinach (or other vegetables like bell peppers or onions)
Salt and pepper to taste
Cooking spray or oil for greasing mold

Step-by-Step Instructions

Let’s make these delicious egg bites together!

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
In a blender, combine the eggs, cottage cheese, shredded cheese, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Stir in any additional ingredients like cooked spinach or your choice of flavorful vegetables.
Grease a muffin tin or silicone mold with cooking spray or oil to ensure easy removal.
Pour the egg mixture into the prepared molds, filling them about 2/3 full for puffiness.
Place the mold in a baking dish and add water to the dish until it reaches halfway up the sides of the molds (this creates a gentle water bath).
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the egg bites are set and beautifully golden.
Allow to cool slightly before carefully removing them from the molds.
Serve warm or store in the refrigerator for convenient meal prep.
