Make these fluffy, high-protein egg bites at home using cottage cheese for a creamy texture. They are perfect for quick, low-carb breakfasts and easy meal prepping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
  • 1 cup egg whites (or 4 large eggs)
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (Monterey Jack or cheddar)
  • 1/4 cup cooked, crumbled bacon (optional)
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped spinach (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin or use silicone liners.
  2. Combine the cottage cheese and egg whites (or whole eggs) in a blender. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. This step is key for fluffy egg bites.
  3. Stir in the shredded cheese, bacon, and spinach (if using) into the blended mixture. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
  5. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the egg bites are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. For a texture closer to Starbucks sous vide egg bites, you can use a pressure cooker with a trivet and water bath for 8 minutes on high pressure followed by a natural release.
  6. Let the egg bites cool in the tin for a few minutes before removing them. These are great for a quick grab and go breakfast.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, substitute half of the egg whites with whole eggs.
  • These egg bites are freezer friendly. Cool completely, then store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one month. Reheat in the microwave for 30-60 seconds.
  • If you prefer a different mix-in, try adding finely chopped cooked sausage or steamed broccoli florets for a low carb egg bites option.
