Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese
  • 1/4 cup shredded Gruyère cheese
  • 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella
  • 3 strips bacon
  • 1/4 cup roasted red peppers
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • Cooking spray

Method
 

  1. Heat the oven to 325°F (160°C) and coat a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray. Blend the 6 eggs, 1/2 cup cottage cheese, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper on high for 30 seconds until completely smooth.
  2. Cook the 3 strips bacon in a cold skillet over medium heat for 6 to 8 minutes until deep brown and crispy, then crumble into small pieces.
  3. Divide the 1/4 cup roasted red peppers and crumbled bacon among the 12 muffin cups, then sprinkle the 1/4 cup Gruyère and 1/4 cup mozzarella over each cup.
  4. Pour the blended egg mixture evenly over the fillings, filling each cup about 3/4 full. Bake at 325°F (160°C) for 22 to 25 minutes until centers are set and do not jiggle.
  5. Run a butter knife around each cup, lift the egg bites onto a serving plate, and finish with a crack of fresh black pepper.

Notes

These egg bites can be prepped through the blending and bacon steps the night before and kept separately in the fridge. Assemble and bake in the morning and they are ready in under 30 minutes. The biggest mistake is overbaking, so trust the jiggle test rather than the color of the tops.
