Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk cottage cheese or almond milk cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded gruyere cheese or sharp cheddar or use Miyoko’s plant based cheese or omit
  • 1/2 cup shredded monterey jack or mozzarella cheese or all 1 cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • A dash of hot sauce if desired
  • Optional Fillings:
  • 3 to 4 pieces cooked bacon crumbled into small pieces
  • 1 roasted red bell pepper diced
  • 3 chopped scallions white and light green parts only
  • 1 cup fresh baby spinach chopped
  • 1 cup sauteed sliced mushrooms chopped
  • Chopped cooked hash browns

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F and line a muffin pan with 12 silicone muffin liners or grease the tin well with olive oil or avocado oil.
  • In a blender, blend the eggs, cottage cheese, gruyere, monterey jack, salt and pepper (and hot sauce if you’re using it) until very smooth, about 60 to 90 seconds.
  • Place optional fillings in the muffin cups and pour the egg mixture evenly into the 12 muffin cups, filling them about 3/4 of the way full. These will not puff up, so it’s ok if you fill them almost all the way. I like to stir each muffin well with a spoon so the fillings don’t sit at the bottom.
  • Place the muffin tin in a rimmed baking sheet and place on a rack in the center of the oven. Pour 2-3 cups or ¼-inch of hot water in the baking sheet. Bake muffins for 40 minutes, or until the tops of the egg bites are golden, firm and springy. The egg bites won’t puff, they’ll have a custardy texture instead.
  • Carefully remove the muffin pan (and pan of water) from the oven. Be careful not to splash, since the water in the pan will be very hot! Let the egg bites cool in the pan for 15 minutes before serving.
