Description
Make these fluffy, high-protein egg bites at home using your oven. This easy recipe is perfect for meal prep and offers a delicious, low-carb breakfast alternative.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cottage cheese (full fat or low fat)
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup cooked, crumbled bacon (optional add-in)
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh spinach (optional add-in)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin or silicone egg bite mold.
- In a blender, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, salt, and pepper. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. This step is key for fluffy texture.
- If using add-ins like bacon or spinach, divide them evenly among the prepared muffin cups.
- Pour the blended egg mixture over the add-ins in the muffin cups, filling each cup about three-quarters full. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top of each bite.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the egg bites are set and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Baking time may vary based on your oven.
- Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the egg bites cool in the pan for 5 minutes before carefully removing them.
- These are great served warm or stored for meal prep.
Notes
- For a true Starbucks sous vide copycat texture, you can use an Instant Pot with a trivet and pressure cook for 8 minutes on High, followed by a 5-minute natural release, then quick release.
- If you do not have a blender, you can use an immersion blender or whisk vigorously until the cottage cheese is mostly broken down.
- These keto egg bites freeze well. Cool completely, then store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one month. Reheat in the microwave for 30-60 seconds.
