Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small red bell pepper chopped
- 1 cup baby spinach chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly spray a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté the chopped red bell pepper and spinach for 2 to 3 minutes until slightly softened. Remove from heat.
- In a blender or food processor, combine eggs, cottage cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and fully combined.
- Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and sautéed vegetables. Mix gently but thoroughly.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
- Bake for 22 to 25 minutes or until the tops are just set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the egg bites to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then run a butter knife around the edges to release them.
- Serve warm or let cool completely before storing.
