🔪 How to Make Cottage Cheese Egg Bites

Preheat oven to 325°F.

Add the eggs, cottage cheese, salt and pepper to a high powered blender or food processor. Be sure to drain off any excess liquid from the cottage cheese before adding to the blender.

Mix until everything is well combined and smooth, but do not over mix.

Spray a muffin pan with nonstick spray, then add some of the chopped ham and shredded cheese to each muffin cup.

Pour the egg mixture over the ham and cheese.

Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the eggs are cooked through.

Let them cool for 5 minutes before removing them from the muffin pan and serving.

☑️ Storage Instructions

Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3-4 days in the fridge.

💡 Tips

• Make sure you drain off any excess liquid from the cottage cheese.  This will help prevent the egg bites from being watery.
• Don’t over mix the batter, you only want to blend just until the cottage cheese is blended and just combined. Over-mixing the batter can also make the egg bites turn out watery.
• Be sure to spray the muffin pan with nonstick spray, otherwise the eggs can stick.  If you can use a silicone muffin pan or liners, they tend to work even better.
• Don’t overcook the egg bites. You’ll want to pull them out once they have just set.  Overcooking them can make the dry or too dense.

🔄 Substitutions and Additions

I added ham and shredded cheese in this recipe, but there are so many other ingredients you can add instead. Here are some of my favorite combinations:

• Chorizo and bell peppers
• Mushroom and spinach
• Caramelized onions and Gruyere cheese
• Sausage and smoked gouda
• Bacon and cheddar cheese
• Tomatoes, peppers and onions

Why use cottage cheese in egg bites?

The cottage cheese helps to give the eggs a creamier texture, that’s light and fluffy.

Why are my cottage cheese egg bites watery?

Not straining out the excess water will make them watery.  Also make sure you don’t over-mix the batter in the blender.

How to get egg bites to stay fluffy?

Mixing the batter in a blender helps incorporate air, making them fluffy. Using cottage cheese in with the eggs also helps stabilize them, as does heavy cream.
