Preparation Steps

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin or use silicone liners.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, cottage cheese, shredded cheese, chopped spinach, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until well combined.
  • Pour the egg mixture evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
  • Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the egg bites are set and lightly golden brown on top.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  • Serve warm or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.

Notes

These egg bites are highly customizable! Feel free to add other vegetables like diced bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms. Cooked bacon or sausage bits also make a great addition for extra flavor and protein.
