Ingredients
- Large Eggs: 6
- Cottage Cheese (low fat): 1 cup
- Shredded Cheddar Cheese: 1/2 cup
- Cooked Bacon (crumbled): 1/4 cup
- Chopped Green Onions: 2 tablespoons
- Garlic Powder: 1/2 teaspoon
- Salt: 1/4 teaspoon
- Black Pepper: 1/4 teaspoon
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin very well.
- Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined.
- Step 3: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and chopped green onions.
- Step 4: Pour the egg mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full.
- Step 5: Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the egg bites are set and lightly golden brown.
- Step 6: Let the egg bites cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before carefully removing them and serving.
Notes
- Store cooled egg bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days for easy breakfasts.
- For a quick and easy reheat, microwave individual egg bites for 30-45 seconds, or until warmed through.
- Serve these savory egg bites with a dollop of plain Greek yogurt or salsa for added flavor and moisture.
- Don't overfill the muffin cups; leaving a little room allows for expansion during baking and prevents overflow.
