# Instructions:
01 -
Warm your oven to 350°F and coat a silicone muffin pan with cooking spray or a bit of oil so the egg bites won't stick.
02 -
Throw the eggs, cottage cheese, and all spices into a strong blender. Run it until everything looks smooth and uniform.
03 -
Add roughly ¼ cup of your egg mix into each muffin spot.
04 -
Sprinkle grated cheese and whatever add-ins you picked on top of each cup. Lightly stir with a spoon to mix them in. Feel free to add more cheese on top if you want.
05 -
Pop them in the oven for 18-22 minutes until they're firm and don't wobble anymore. Let them cool a bit before taking them out.
# Notes:
01 -
Want an egg-white only version? Swap out whole eggs for 1.5 cups of just whites (about 12 egg whites). Just know they might turn out a bit wetter and less airy than using whole eggs.
