Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
  • 3/4 cup shredded Gruyère cheese
  • 1/2 cup roasted red peppers, jarred and drained
  • 2 tbsp cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp fine salt
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper
  • Cooking spray or butter, for greasing

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C) and boil a kettle of water. Blend the 4 eggs, 1 cup cottage cheese, 2 tbsp cream cheese, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp black pepper on high for 30 to 45 seconds until completely smooth.
  2. Pour the blended mixture into a bowl or large measuring cup. Pat the 1/2 cup roasted red peppers dry, chop into small pieces, and stir them into the batter along with the 3/4 cup shredded Gruyère.
  3. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin well with cooking spray or butter. Divide the mixture among 9 cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  4. Set the muffin tin inside a roasting pan and pour boiling water into the outer pan to a depth of 1 inch. Bake at 325°F (165°C) for 28 to 32 minutes until the centers are just set.
  5. Loosen each egg bite with a knife, lift out, and arrange on a plate. Top with a pinch of black pepper and a few strips of roasted red pepper.

Notes

These come together fastest if your cream cheese is at room temperature before you blend, so set it out when you turn the oven on. The recipe makes 9 rather than 12 because filling only 9 cups gives each bite enough room to puff without spilling. Leftovers keep well in the fridge for 5 days and make excellent weekday breakfasts.
