Equipment

  • Muffin Tin
  • Large bowl
  • Whisk
  • Blender

Ingredients
  

For the Batter

  • 6 oz Bacon Bits Adds savory flavor and texture; turkey bacon can be a healthier substitute.
  • 6 large Eggs Essential for structure and protein; they hold everything together.
  • 1 cup Cottage Cheese Provides creaminess and protein; blend for a smoother texture if desired.
  • 1 cup Colby Jack Cheese Contributes flavor and creaminess; feel free to swap with Cheddar or Mozzarella.
  • 1/2 tsp Salt Enhances flavors; adjust according to your taste.
  • 1/4 tsp Black Pepper Adds a hint of warmth; substitute with other spices if preferred.
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder Offers aromatic depth; using fresh garlic gives a stronger flavor.

For Cooking

  • non-stick spray Cooking Oil Spray Prevents sticking to the muffin tin; alternatives include butter or olive oil.

Instructions
 

Cooking Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Spray a 12-cup muffin tin generously with cooking oil to ensure the egg bites release easily after baking.
  • Whisk together the eggs in a large bowl until frothy. Stir in the salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, creating a well-seasoned base for your mixture.
  • Fold in the cottage cheese, Colby Jack cheese, and bacon bits gently. Mix until all ingredients are evenly combined for a deliciously creamy and flavorful batter.
  • Divide the mixture among the muffin cups, filling each cup about 3/4 full to allow for expansion while baking.
  • Prepare a water bath by placing a pan filled with hot water on the lower rack of the oven. Bake the muffin tin above for 23-25 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers have a slight jiggle.
  • Cool for a few minutes before carefully unmolding. Use a thin knife to help release the egg bites without breaking them.

Notes

Blend cottage cheese for smoothness. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
