Step By Step Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.

Lightly grease a 12 cup muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray.

Place the eggs, cottage cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper into a blender.

Blend until completely smooth and frothy.

Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, turkey bacon, spinach, bell pepper, and green onions.

Divide the mixture evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three quarters full.

Bake for 22 to 25 minutes until the egg bites are puffed and the centers are fully set.

Allow them to cool for about 5 minutes before carefully removing them from the pan.

Serve warm or allow them to cool completely for meal prep.

Variations To Try

Use feta cheese and spinach for a Mediterranean version. Replace cheddar with pepper jack for extra spice. Add mushrooms, broccoli, tomatoes, or kale for more vegetables. Substitute turkey bacon with cooked ground turkey or diced ham. Mix in jalapeños for a spicy breakfast option.

Freezing Or Restoring

Store the egg bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days.

Freeze in a freezer safe container for up to three months.

Reheat refrigerated egg bites in the microwave for 20 to 30 seconds or warm frozen egg bites for about one minute until heated through.

Recipe Notes

Blending the eggs with cottage cheese creates a smooth and creamy texture similar to coffee shop egg bites. Do not overfill the muffin cups because the egg mixture expands while baking. Silicone muffin pans make removing the egg bites much easier. Let the egg bites cool slightly before removing them from the pan. Add fresh herbs before serving for extra flavor.
