Step-by-Step Instructions for Cottage Cheese Egg Bites
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick spray or olive oil.
- Crack all six eggs into a large mixing bowl and whisk until fully blended and slightly frothy.
- Add 1 cup of cottage cheese to the whisked eggs and stir until completely incorporated.
- Sprinkle in the ½ cup of shredded cheddar cheese and fold it gently into the mixture.
- Add the chopped spinach, red bell pepper, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and onion powder. Stir until well mixed.
- In a separate bowl, mix ½ teaspoon of baking powder with a splash of water. Incorporate this into the egg blend.
- Pour in the tablespoon of olive oil and mix until evenly distributed.
- Spoon the egg mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup nearly to the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, until set in the middle and golden brown on top.
- Remove the muffin tin from the oven and cool for 5 minutes.
- Run a knife around the edges of each egg bite to release them from the tin.
- Serve warm or allow to cool for storage. They can last in the fridge for up to 4 days.
