Instructions
- Adjust one oven rack in the middle position and another in the lowest position—Preheat the oven to 300°F. Place a 9x13-inch baking dish on the lower rack and fill it halfway with the boiling water; this will create steam in the oven, which will help the egg bites to cook gently and have a smooth, creamy texture.
- In a small nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ham or bacon frequently, stirring until crisp, 5 to 6 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain; set aside.
- Combine the eggs, cottage cheese, Monterey jack cheese, cheddar, salt, pepper, granulated garlic, and hot sauce in a blender. Blend until completely smooth, about 45 seconds.
- Meanwhile, spray a nonstick muffin pan generously with nonstick cooking spray; divide the bacon evenly into the prepared muffin pan, then pour the egg mixture evenly into the prepared muffin pan, filling each about three-quarters full—Bake for 20 to 23 minutes or until set.
- Remove the egg bites from the oven and allow to rest in the pan for about 5 minutes. Use a paring knife to loosen the egg bites from the edges of the pan and carefully lift them out onto a plate. Serve warm.
