Cottage Cheese Egg Bites
Servings: 12
Equipment
Ingredients
- 8 eggs large
- 1 cup cottage cheese whole milk
- 3/4 cup cheddar cheese shredded
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F
- In a blender, combine all ingredients except cheddar cheese
- Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a pot on the stove
- Put a silicone muffin tin on a baking sheet. Spray each muffin cup well with cooking spray
- Pour egg mixture evenly into all 12 cups. Fill them almost to the top.
- Divide the shredded cheese evenly into all 12 cups. Press the cheese down into the liquid
- Put in the oven, and then carefully pour boiling water onto baking sheet to surround the muffin tin. I used a glass liquid measuring cup with a spout to do this.
- Bake for 23-28 minutes, or just until eggs are firm.
- Remove CAREFULLY from the oven...the water on the tray is going to make this feel treacherous.
Notes
The nutrition stats are calculated per egg bite, but a serving would likely be more than 1 egg bite (depending on if it is a kid or adult portion!), so you can multiply to get accurate stats for 2 or 3, etc!
