Gather Your Ingredients

Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cook Time: 25 minutes | Servings: 12

6 large eggs
1 cup cottage cheese
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
1/2 cup diced bell peppers
1/4 cup chopped spinach
Salt and pepper to taste
Cooking spray or oil for greasing

Let’s Get Cooking

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and grease a muffin tin with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Stir in the shredded cheese, bell peppers, and spinach until evenly distributed.
Pour the egg mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the egg bites are set and slightly golden on top.
Allow to cool for a few minutes before gently removing them from the tin.

My Pro Tips

For extra flavor, try adding cooked bacon or sausage to the egg mixture.
Experiment with different cheeses like feta or pepper jack for a unique twist.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
