Make these easy, high-protein egg bites in a muffin tin. They are perfect for quick breakfasts, meal preparation, and freezing for later.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 large eggs
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (optional, for fluffiness and protein)
  • 1/2 cup milk (any kind)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
  • 1/2 cup cooked bacon or sausage, crumbled
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin well.
  2. If using cottage cheese, place the cottage cheese and milk in a blender. Blend until completely smooth. This step creates the fluffy texture.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, the cottage cheese/milk mixture (if used), salt, and pepper until combined. Do not over-whisk; just mix until uniform.
  4. Stir in the shredded cheese and your cooked meat (bacon or sausage).
  5. Divide the egg mixture evenly among the 12 prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
  6. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the egg bites are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the egg bites cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before carefully removing them.
  8. Serve warm immediately, or cool completely for meal prep.

Notes

  • For freezer-friendly breakfast prep, cool the egg bites completely, then place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. They reheat well from frozen in the microwave.
  • To make these low carb or keto egg bites, skip any starchy additions and stick to cheese and meat.
  • You can substitute bacon with cooked spinach, diced bell peppers, or mushrooms for a vegetarian option.
