Cottage Cheese Egg Bites: The Ultimate Breakfast

Print Recipe

If you’re looking for a breakfast that’s protein-packed, easy to prep, and incredibly satisfying, these Cottage Cheese Egg Bites are about to become your go-to meal

Ingredients

Scale

  • 6 large eggs

  • ¾ cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)

  • ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

  • Optional: ½ cup chopped spinach, bell peppers, or cooked bacon

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat Oven and Prep Pan
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your muffin tin or use silicone liners.

Step 2: Blend the Base (Optional)
For a smoother texture, blend the eggs and cottage cheese together using a blender or immersion blender. This step is optional but creates a more uniform and creamy bite.

Step 3: Mix Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, cottage cheese, shredded cheese, salt, and pepper. Stir in any optional veggies or cooked meat.

Step 4: Fill the Muffin Tin
Pour the mixture evenly into each muffin cup, filling about ¾ full.

Step 5: Bake
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the centers are set and the tops are slightly golden.

Step 6: Cool and Serve
Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then remove and enjoy immediately or store for later.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cottage cheese for creamier results, though low-fat works too.

  • Don’t overbake – They continue cooking slightly after removing from the oven.

  • Let them rest before removing to avoid sticking.
