Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300°F. Boil 4 cups of water. Once boiling, pour the water into a 9 x 13-inch baking dish and set on the bottom rack of the oven to create a steam bath.
- Set out a 12 portion muffin tin. Spray it generously with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a food processor (or blender) combine the eggs, cottage cheese, shredded Gruyere cheese, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Purée until smooth.
- Use a 1/3 cup scoop to portion the egg mixture out into 12 muffin tin wells. Fill the muffin tins about 2/3 to 3/4 of the way full. Sprinkle the chopped bacon, or any other topping, over the top of the egg mixture in each cup, adding 1-2 teaspoons of filling per egg bite. Then use a spoon to press the fillings down into the egg mixture so they are inside each egg bite, not resting on top.
- Set the muffin tin on the middle rack over the water bath. Bake for approximately 20-23 minutes, until the egg bites are puffed high in the muffin tins.
- Remove from the oven. Allow the egg bites to rest for 2-3 minutes. They will deflate and become flatter on top. Serve warm.
