Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded Gruyère cheese
  • 1/4 tsp fine salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 4 strips cooked bacon, crumbled
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh chives
  • Cooking spray

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Blend the 6 eggs, 1 cup cottage cheese, 1/2 cup Gruyère, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1/4 tsp garlic powder on high for 30 seconds until completely smooth.
  2. Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray. Divide the crumbled bacon from 4 strips among the cups, then pour the egg mixture over, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
  3. Bake at 300°F (150°C) for 28 to 32 minutes, until the centers are just set and the tops look matte.
  4. Run a knife around each bite and lift out. Arrange on a plate and scatter the 2 tbsp chopped chives over the top before serving.

Notes

These keep well in the fridge for 4 days, so making a full batch on Sunday covers most of the week. If your cottage cheese is particularly watery, drain it briefly in a fine-mesh strainer before blending; this keeps the bites from being too loose in the center. Silicone muffin cups release more cleanly than a metal tin if you find yourself making these regularly.
