Equipment

Ingredients

16 ounces egg whites from carton, or 12 egg whites
1 ¼ cup cottage cheese 4% or whole milk
¾ cup cheddar cheese shredded
½ teaspoon hot sauce
¼ teaspoon salt
pinch black pepper
fresh chives optional, for the top
¼ cup roasted red pepper chopped, optional
¼ cup spinach chopped, optional

Instructions

Spray the cups of a mini muffin pan lightly with a cokking spray or olive oil.
Preheat the oven to 350℉.
In a blender or Nutribullet, blend together the eggs, cottage cheese, cheddar cheese, hot sauce, salt, and pepper.
Add the roasted red pepper and spinach if using. Mix to combine.
Divide the egg mixture into 12 cups of your muffin pan, filling the cup no more than ¾ of the way full.
Top with chives, if using.
Bake for 20 minutes or until the eggs are slightly firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and let sit for a few minutes. The egg bites will settle down into the pan.
Remove from the pan and enjoy.

Notes

Use a full-fat cottage cheese for the best texture.

Try to use a block of cheese and grate the cheese instead of shredded cheese. The cheese will melt better.

It is simple to take these bites out of the individual wells if you use a silicone muffin pan. I personally make sure to spray my muffin pan well and I have also used paper muffin holders to make popping them out easier.

These egg bites can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can freeze them in an airtight container or freezer bag. Store for up to 2 months. Defrost in the refrigerator overnight. Reheat by putting them in the microwave on a defrost setting or if defrosted, reheat them at 5-second intervals.
