Description

Discover a simple cottage cheese egg bites recipe packed with protein perfect for quick meals or snacks to fuel your day with nutrition and ease

Ingredients

Scale

4 large eggs

1 cup cottage cheese

½ cup shredded cheddar cheese

2 tablespoons milk

1 teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon salt

Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Optional: chopped fresh herbs (parsley, chives, or dill)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick spray or butter to help the egg bites release easily once baked.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs until the yolks and whites are fully combined and slightly frothy for a lighter, airy texture.
Add cottage cheese, shredded cheddar, and milk into the eggs and stir until just combined. The cottage cheese will make the mixture creamy with little white curds floating around.
Season with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss in chopped fresh herbs if using, and stir gently to distribute evenly.
Pour the mixture evenly into the greased muffin tin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the egg bites are puffed, set with no jiggling in the center, and lightly golden on top.
Cool for 5 minutes in the tin, then carefully run a knife around the edges to loosen each bite. Enjoy warm or let them cool completely before storing.
