Ingredients:

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup (225g) cottage cheese
  • 1/2 tsp (3g) salt
  • 1/4 tsp (1g) black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp (1g) garlic powder
  • 2 cups (60g) fresh spinach, finely chopped
  • 1 cup (115g) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil or non-stick spray, or insert silicone liners.
  2. Place the eggs, cottage cheese, salt, pepper, and garlic powder into a blender. Process on high for 30–60 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and slightly frothy.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped spinach and shredded sharp cheddar cheese.
  4. Pour the blended egg mixture over the spinach and cheese, stirring gently to distribute evenly.
  5. Divide the batter equally among the 12 muffin cups, filling each approximately 3/4 of the way to the top.
  6. Bake for 20–25 minutes until the centers are set and the edges are slightly golden brown.
  7. Let the egg bites rest in the pan for 5 minutes before removing to allow steam to settle.
