Equipment

  • 1 Blender
  • 1 Muffin baking pan

Ingredients

  • ½ cup Cottage Cheese
  • 6 Large Eggs
  • ½ cup Shredded Cheese I used monterey jack cheese in this recipe
  • ¼ cup Broccoli Can be steamed or sautéed
  • ¼ cup Yogurt any type of yogurt works
  • ¼ teaspoon Garlic use garlic powder for convenience
  • ¼ teaspoon Onion Powder
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt for taste
  • ¼ teaspoon Pepper

Instructions

  • First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
    Take an empty baking pan. Fill with water (up to ½ inch) and place it in the bottom rack of the oven. You can use a sheet pan or a bread pan and fill ½ inch of water.
  • Once you have all your ingredients set up, put them into the blender and blend for about 15-20 seconds.
    Cottage cheese lumps should smoothen out and you should have a runny consistency of the mixture.
    Step 1 of step by step: All Ingredients in a blender
  • Spray the muffin pan with olive oil or butter.
    Pour in the mixture.
    Fill about ¾ of the cup.
    The eggs tend to fluff up while baking, so you want to provide them some extra room to come up.
    Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 25 minutes.
    Step 2 of the step-by-step: Cottage Cheese Egg mixture poured into muffin pan
  • Remove out of the oven. Allow to cool for 1-2 minutes. Serve and Enjoy with fruit of your choice or any other breakfast side dish!
    Step 3: Final Product - 3 egg bites served on a plate with 3 cherries

Notes

Bake in a shallow water bath: Your water bath doesn't need to contain a lot of water (just about ½ inch). Too much moisture can cause eggs to deflate or shrivel up after they come out of the oven.
If using a sheet pan as your water bath, stack the sheet pan under the muffin pan. Carefully place the stacked pans in the center of the oven.
Use 4% milk fat cottage cheese for best results.
This recipe makes 12 egg bites, so a 12 count muffin baking pan is ideal for this recipe.
