Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large eggs, room temperature
- ½ cup (120 ml) milk, whole or 2% (dairy-free milk works too)
- ¼ cup (60 g) cottage cheese, small curd preferred
- ½ cup (50 g) shredded cheddar cheese, sharp or mild
- 3 slices cooked bacon, chopped (optional)
- 1 cup (30 g) fresh spinach, finely chopped
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- A pinch of garlic powder (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Place silicone molds on a baking sheet for stability.
- Whisk the eggs in a medium bowl until yolks and whites are fully combined and slightly frothy, about 1-2 minutes.
- Add milk and cottage cheese, then whisk again until smooth.
- Season the egg mixture with salt, pepper, and garlic powder if using. Taste and adjust seasoning.
- Fold in shredded cheddar, cooked bacon, and chopped spinach gently with a spatula.
- Spoon the mixture into each silicone mold cavity, filling about ¾ full.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until egg bites are set and slightly golden on top. Check doneness with a toothpick; it should come out clean.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes before popping out of the molds.
- Serve warm or let cool completely before storing. Reheat in microwave or toaster oven before serving.
Notes
If eggs seem watery after baking, drain excess liquid from cottage cheese before mixing. Adding ¼ teaspoon baking powder can increase fluffiness. Use metal muffin tins greased well if silicone molds are unavailable. Avoid mixing in watery vegetables unless drained well.
