Make these easy, protein-packed egg bites at home. They are perfect for healthy meal prep, grab-and-go breakfasts, and taste better than commercial versions. We show you the simple oven method for fluffy results.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 large eggs
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (full fat or low fat)
  • 1/2 cup milk (any kind)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup cooked, crumbled bacon or diced ham (optional)
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (Cheddar or Monterey Jack)
  • 1/2 cup chopped vegetables (spinach, bell peppers, or broccoli)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup standard muffin tin.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, milk, salt, and pepper until completely smooth. This step helps create fluffy egg bites.
  3. Stir in your cooked bacon or ham, shredded cheese, and chopped vegetables into the egg mixture. Do not overmix.
  4. Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
  5. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the egg bites are set in the center and lightly golden brown around the edges.
  6. Let the egg bites cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before carefully removing them.
  7. For meal prep, let them cool completely before storing them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months. Reheat in the microwave for 30-60 seconds.

Notes

  • For the best, fluffiest texture, use an immersion blender or regular blender to mix the eggs and cottage cheese until very smooth.
  • If you prefer a Starbucks copycat texture, use a high-speed blender for the wet ingredients until completely smooth before adding mix-ins.
  • You can substitute cottage cheese with Greek yogurt for a similar texture, though the flavor profile will change slightly.
  • These are excellent low carb egg bites when you skip any starchy additions.
