Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 5 large large eggs
  • 0.5 cup cottage cheese
  • 0.5 cup fresh spinach, chopped
  • 0.25 cup bell pepper, diced any color works!
  • 0.25 cup cheese, shredded try cheddar or mozzarella
  • to taste Salt
  • to taste Pepper

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure your bites get that perfect fluffy texture.
  2. Lightly grease a muffin tin to prevent sticking. You can use cooking spray or a natural oil.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, crack the 5 eggs and whisk them until well combined. Add the cottage cheese, chopped spinach, diced bell pepper, and shredded cheese. Season with salt and pepper according to your taste.
  4. Carefully pour the egg mixture into the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full to allow for rising.
  5. Place the muffin tray in your preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the egg bites are set and slightly golden on top.
  6. Remove the bites from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes in the tray before gently removing them. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

For best results, monitor the baking closely to avoid overbaking and keep the bites fluffy. These Protein Egg Bites are best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months. Reheat in the microwave or toaster oven to maintain texture.
