Cottage Cheese Egg Bites Recipe
Description
This recipe blends large eggs, cottage cheese, and shredded cheddar cheese until smooth, seasoned simply with salt and black pepper. Pouring the mixture into a lightly greased silicone muffin pan ensures easy removal after baking. Adding cooked bacon and chopped chives on top introduces savory and fresh herb elements.
Baking at 350°F for about 20 to 22 minutes gently cooks the eggs to a tender, soft texture without over-drying. Cooling before removal helps the bites keep their shape. The resulting egg bites balance creamy and cheesy flavors with protein-rich ingredients, suitable for a quick breakfast, brunch, or snack.
The recipe's simplicity allows for optional add-ins and customization. The calories noted include any bacon and chives used, informing portion considerations and meal planning.
