Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 10 large  organic eggs
  • 1 cup organic cottage cheese Good Culture preferred
  • 1 cup cooked and diced meat turkey bacon, ham, or chicken
  • 1/2 cup diced organic bell peppers
  • 1/4 cup diced organic spinach or kale
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
  • 1/4 tbsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast optional
  • Avocado oil for greasing

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F and generously grease a muffin tin with avocado oil. Don’t skip this step, or you’ll struggle to remove the bites later. Proper greasing makes cleanup easy and gives the bites a golden edge.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and cottage cheese until well combined and smooth. You may notice small curds throughout the mixture, which adds a nice texture. Add nutritional yeast if you want a rich, cheesy flavor that blends relatively evenly.
  3. Place a skillet over medium heat and add a teaspoon of avocado oil. Sauté the green onions, bell peppers, and spinach for a few minutes until softened. Let them cool slightly to prevent cooking the eggs too soon — a small pause makes a big difference.
  4. Add the cooked meat and cooled vegetables to your egg mixture. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper, then mix evenly until the flavors are well distributed. This balance gives every bite a savory, wholesome taste.
  5. Divide the mixture among muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full to allow room for rising during baking. This ensures perfect shape and texture for each serving.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the edges are golden, the centers aren’t jiggly, and the temperature reaches 160°F for proper food safety. Let them cool in the pan before removing — once the internal texture has set, you’ll have fluffy, protein-packed bites ready to enjoy.

Notes

Store refrigerated up to 1 week or freeze up to 3 months. Each serving (2-3 egg bites) provides approximately 19g protein. Use cast iron molds for best results.
