Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time20 minutes
Total Time30 minutes
Servings12 egg bites

Equipment

  • 1 12-cup muffin tin
  • 1 blender or food processor

Ingredients

  • 8 eggs
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (I used Daisy 4% Cottage Cheese)
  • salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup chopped ham

Method

  • Preheat oven to 325°F and generously spray a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray. Optional: place a pan of hot water on the bottom oven rack for fluffier egg bites.
  • Blend eggs, cottage cheese, salt, and pepper until completely smooth - about 60 seconds on medium speed.
  • Pour into the muffin tin, filling each cup ¾ full. Divide chopped ham and shredded cheddar evenly into each cup.
  • Bake for 20–25 minutes until set and cooked through.
  • Cool in the tin for 10 minutes before removing. Serve warm or store for later!

Notes

  • Place a pan of water on the bottom oven rack before baking for the fluffiest, most custardy egg bites.
  • Grease the muffin tin very generously - eggs stick easily. A silicone muffin tin works best!
  • Blend on medium speed, not high, to avoid a foamy egg mixture.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat in the microwave for 30–60 seconds.
  • Freeze individually for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge or microwave from frozen for 60–90 seconds.
