👩‍🍳 How to Make Creamy Protein Egg Bites

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Lightly grease a muffin tin using butter or olive oil so the egg bites don’t stick.

Step 2: Blend Eggs and Cottage Cheese

Crack the eggs into a bowl and add cottage cheese. Blend or whisk well until the mixture looks smooth and creamy. This step helps give the egg bites their soft texture.

Step 3: Season the Mixture

Add salt and black pepper to taste. You can also add garlic powder or dried herbs if you like extra flavor.

Step 4: Add Cheese and Veggies

Mix in shredded cheese and chopped vegetables. This adds flavor, color, and extra nutrition.

Step 5: Fill the Muffin Tray

Pour the egg mixture evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.

Step 6: Bake

Place the tray in the oven and bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the egg bites are set and slightly golden on top.

Step 7: Cool and Serve

Let them cool for a few minutes before removing. Serve warm or let them cool completely for meal prep.
