Make these high-protein egg bites using cottage cheese for a fluffy texture. This recipe is perfect for quick, grab-and-go breakfasts and simple meal prepping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (full fat or low fat)
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional add-ins: 1/2 cup cooked bacon, spinach, or chopped ham

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin or silicone mold.
  2. In a blender, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, salt, and pepper. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth, about 30 seconds.
  3. Stir in the shredded cheese and any optional add-ins like cooked bacon or spinach into the egg mixture.
  4. Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
  5. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the egg bites are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Let the egg bites cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before carefully removing them.
  7. Serve warm or store them for meal prep.

Notes

  • For a smoother, Starbucks copycat texture, use a high-speed blender to fully incorporate the cottage cheese.
  • These egg bites store well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or can be frozen for longer storage. Reheat in the microwave for 30-45 seconds.
  • You can substitute Greek yogurt for cottage cheese if you prefer a slightly tangier flavor.
