Make easy, fluffy, high-protein egg bites at home using cottage cheese. This recipe is perfect for quick breakfasts and meal prepping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk or unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
  • 1/2 cup cooked, crumbled bacon or sausage (optional)
  • 1/2 cup chopped spinach or broccoli florets (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup standard muffin tin or silicone mold.
  2. Combine the cottage cheese, eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a blender. Blend until completely smooth. This step creates the fluffy texture.
  3. Stir in your chosen mix-ins, such as shredded cheese, bacon, or vegetables, into the blended egg mixture.
  4. Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
  5. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the egg bites are set and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
  6. Let the egg bites cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before removing them.
  7. Serve warm or store for meal prep.

Notes

  • For a Starbucks copycat texture, blend the cottage cheese and eggs until very smooth.
  • If using an Instant Pot, use a pressure cooker rack and silicone molds, cook on high pressure for 8 minutes, followed by a natural pressure release for 5 minutes.
  • These egg bites freeze well. Store cooled bites in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one month. Reheat in the microwave for 30-60 seconds.
