Make these easy, fluffy egg bites at home. This recipe mimics the popular Starbucks style, uses cottage cheese for a high-protein boost, and is perfect for meal prepping grab-and-go breakfasts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cottage cheese, low fat or full fat
  • 12 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/4 cup shredded white cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup cooked, crumbled bacon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 12-cup standard muffin tin or use silicone liners.
  2. Combine the cottage cheese and eggs in a blender. Blend on medium speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, about 30 seconds. This step helps create the fluffy texture.
  3. Pour the egg mixture into a large bowl. Stir in the Monterey Jack cheese, white cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper. If using bacon, gently fold in the crumbled bacon now.
  4. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
  5. Place the muffin tin into the preheated oven. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. The egg bites are done when they are set in the center and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  6. Remove the tin from the oven. Let the egg bites cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before carefully removing them.
  7. Serve warm or cool completely for meal prepping. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for later use.

Notes

  • For the best, creamiest texture, use a blender to fully incorporate the cottage cheese into the eggs.
  • If you do not have a blender, you can use an immersion blender or whisk vigorously until the mixture is uniform.
  • To make these low carb egg bites, skip any added fillings like bacon or use low-carb vegetables like spinach or mushrooms.
  • These are freezer friendly breakfast items; reheat from frozen in the microwave for 45 to 60 seconds.
