DIRECTIONS
Preheat the oven to 300 and place a brownie tray with water into the oven. This will create a more humid environment. Grease a muffin tin while you are at it.
Add the eggs, cottage cheese, shredded cheese, and seasoning to a food processor or blender. Blend until smooth. Be careful here not to over-blend and incorporate too much air. This can cause the egg bites to deflate.
Pour the egg mixture into the muffin cups. Fill up each cup about half way. If you want to add in bacon or any veg, do that now.
Place the muffin tin in the oven for around 30-32 minutes. You want them to be totally set.
Remove from oven and serve. For best results use a silicone muffin tin.
Tips
- When making these egg bites, it is important to use full-fat cottage cheese to add structure to ensure they don’t collapse.
- When blending up the egg mixture, it is important to not blend at high speed to avoid incorporating too much air into the mixture, which will cause them to deflate.
- When baking, using Silicone Mini Muffin Pan works best in this recipe. It makes cleaning and demolding the egg bites easier. If you use a regular muffin pan use cupcake liners for easy removal.
- Use a 13-inch baking pan and fill it up with water to create a humid environment in the oven for the egg bites to bake.
