Ingredients
Cooking spray
8 large eggs
1 cup cottage cheese (4% or low-fat)
½ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
¼ teaspoon fine salt
Pinch of black pepper
Fresh chives, roughly chopped
Steps
Mist the cups of a silicone muffin pan lightly with cooking spray. Preheat oven to 350℉.
In a blender, blend together the eggs, cottage cheese, cheddar, salt, and pepper until smooth. (Note: A small blender, like a Nutribullet, works great for this.)
Divide the egg mixture into the cups of the muffin pan, filling each about half full. Sprinkle with the chopped chives. Can also add any other mix-ins, such as veggies or bacon, to the cups at this stage.
Bake for 20-22 minutes or until muffins are slightly firm to touch in the center.
Remove the muffin pan from the oven. The egg bites will be puffed up, but they will settle down into the cups a bit after removing from the oven. Let the egg bites cool a few minutes before removing them out of the pan to enjoy or store for later.
Store egg bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.**

Molly on 2026-06-06 (5 stars): I love this recipe! So tasty and easily adjusted for different flavors while keeping that delicious creamy egg texture. Even my kids who don’t like eggs love these egg bites!
They freeze and thaw beautifully if I manage to make enough to last more than a day.
Dan on 2026-06-07 (5 stars): These taste great, and I’ve made them a few times. The only thing is that they don’t consistently rise. Sometimes they spread over the top of the muffin cup. Any ideas?
