Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup low-fat or whole milk cottage cheese
- 1 tablespoon Everything Bagel seasoning
- Optional: Cooking spray for the pan
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a standard 6-cup muffin tin or a silicone egg bite mold with non-stick cooking spray. Place the eggs and cottage cheese into a high-speed blender or food processor. Blend on high for 30 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and bubbly. This step is crucial because it incorporates air into the eggs, ensuring a light and airy texture once baked.
- Divide the blended egg mixture evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters of the way to the top. Sprinkle a generous amount of Everything Bagel seasoning over the top of each cup. Place the tin in the oven and bake for 22 to 25 minutes. The egg bites should be set in the center and slightly golden on the edges. They will puff up significantly in the oven and then deflate slightly as they cool.
- Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the egg bites rest for 5 minutes. This cooling period allows them to firm up and makes removal much easier. Use a silicone spatula or a knife to gently pop them out of the mold. Serve them warm on a plate, or let them cool completely on a wire rack before storing them in the refrigerator for meal prep.
