Make these easy, high-protein egg bites at home using cottage cheese for a fluffy texture. This recipe is perfect for quick grab-and-go breakfasts and meal prepping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup cooked mix-ins (e.g., chopped spinach, cooked bacon crumbles, or diced ham)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin or silicone mold.
  2. In a blender, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, salt, and pepper. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth. This step is key for fluffy egg bites.
  3. Stir in the shredded cheese and your chosen mix-ins (like bacon or spinach) into the egg mixture. Do not overmix.
  4. Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
  5. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the egg bites are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Let the egg bites cool in the tin for 5 minutes before removing them.
  7. Serve warm or store them for later meal prep.

Notes

  • For a true Starbucks copycat texture, use a blender to fully emulsify the cottage cheese and eggs.
  • These egg bites are low carb and keto friendly when using low-carb mix-ins.
  • You can prepare these in an Instant Pot using a trivet and silicone molds for a sous vide effect; cook on high pressure for 8 minutes, followed by a natural pressure release for 5 minutes.
