Make these easy muffin tin egg bites at home. They are perfect for meal prep, offering a quick, protein-packed, and flavorful breakfast you can grab all week long.

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
  • 1/2 cup chopped spinach (squeezed dry)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin or use silicone liners for easy removal.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, milk, salt, and pepper until completely smooth. This step helps create the creamy texture.
  3. Divide the shredded cheese, bacon, and spinach evenly among the 12 muffin cups.
  4. Carefully pour the egg mixture over the fillings in each cup, filling them about three-quarters full. Do not overfill.
  5. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the egg bites are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Let the egg bites cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before carefully removing them.
  7. Store cooled egg bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat in the microwave for 30-60 seconds when ready to eat.

Notes

  • For a different flavor, substitute the bacon and spinach with 1/2 cup diced ham and 1/4 cup chopped bell peppers.
  • Squeeze excess moisture from the spinach before adding it to prevent watery bites.
  • For the creamiest texture, use a high-speed blender to mix the eggs and cottage cheese until fully incorporated.
