Servings: 12 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
Instructions
- 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.
