Description
Make simple, protein-rich egg cups similar to Starbucks egg bites using cottage cheese for a light texture.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk (any type)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup mix-ins (e.g., cooked spinach, diced ham, shredded cheese)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
- In a blender, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Blend until completely smooth.
- Stir in your chosen mix-ins.
- Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the centers are set and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Let the cups cool in the tin for 5 minutes before removing them.
Notes
- For a smoother texture similar to sous-vide, blend the mixture longer until very fine.
- These cups store well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days for meal prep.
- Reheat in the microwave for 30 to 60 seconds.
