Make these fluffy, high-protein egg bites at home using your oven. They are a perfect, quick, grab-and-go breakfast ideal for meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (full fat or low fat)
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup cooked, crumbled bacon (optional add-in)
  • 1/2 cup chopped spinach (optional add-in)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin or use silicone liners.
  2. In a blender, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, salt, and pepper. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth, about 30 seconds. This step is key for fluffy egg bites.
  3. If using mix-ins, divide the bacon and spinach evenly among the prepared muffin cups.
  4. Pour the blended egg mixture over the fillings in each cup, filling them about three-quarters full.
  5. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the egg mixture in each cup.
  6. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the egg bites are set and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the egg bites cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before carefully removing them. Give yourself a high-five for making this easy breakfast!
  8. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or freeze for longer storage.

Notes

  • For a true Starbucks copycat texture, use a blender to ensure the cottage cheese is fully incorporated and smooth.
  • If you prefer using an Instant Pot, place the muffin tin on a trivet inside the pot with 1 cup of water, cover, and cook on high pressure for 8 minutes, followed by a 5-minute natural pressure release.
  • Feel free to substitute cottage cheese with Greek yogurt for a similar texture.
  • These are great low carb egg bites, perfect for keto diets.
