Ingredients
  

Egg Bites Base Mixture

  • 12 large eggs
  • 1 ½ cups cottage cheese
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • Cooking spray I used olive oil or avocado oil in a non-aerosol oil spray bottle to avoid all the nasty chemicals

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Blend the Mixture: In a blender, combine the eggs, cottage cheese, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  • Prepare the Muffin Tin: Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with oil.
  • Pour and Bake: Fill the muffin trays with the filling of your choice (see below in the Variations). Then pour the egg and cottage cheese mixture evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full. Bake for 20-25 minutes until set and lightly golden.
  • Cool and Store: Allow the egg bites to cool for a few minutes before removing them from the tin. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days.

Notes

Variations

  1. Mozzarella, Sun-Dried Tomato, and Green Pepper:
    • Add ½ cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes, ½ cup diced green peppers, and ½ cup shredded mozzarella to the basic mix.
  2. Pumpkin and Feta:
    • Stir in ½ cup pureed pumpkin and ½ cup crumbled feta cheese to the base recipe. 
Tip: If you have time to roast the pumpkin, it will be even tastier. Chop the pumpkin into small 1/2-inch cubes, spray them with a bit of olive oil, and roast in the air fryer or oven. Then, slowly fold them into the mixture with the crumbled fetta. It will have more of a caramelized texture.
