Make these easy, protein-packed egg bites in a muffin tin for the best breakfast meal prep. They are healthy egg meals perfect for busy mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese
  • 1/4 cup milk (any kind)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
  • 1/2 cup cooked, crumbled bacon or diced ham (optional)
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped spinach or bell pepper (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°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 is key for a creamy texture.
  3. Stir in your desired mix-ins, such as shredded cheese, bacon, or vegetables. Do not overmix.
  4. Pour the egg mixture evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
  5. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the egg bites are set and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
  6. Let the egg bites cool in the muffin tin for about 5 minutes before carefully removing them.
  7. Cool completely before storing. For breakfast meal prep, store cooled bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Notes

  • For the silkiest texture, blend the egg mixture in a blender instead of whisking.
  • If you want a richer flavor, use heavy cream instead of milk.
  • Reheat quickly in the microwave for 30 to 45 seconds when you are ready to eat.
