Make easy, high-protein egg bites using cottage cheese for a fluffy texture. These are perfect for quick breakfasts and meal prepping, resembling popular coffee shop versions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (full fat or low fat)
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk (any type)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
  • 1/2 cup cooked, crumbled bacon or diced ham (optional)
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped spinach (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin or silicone mold.
  2. Combine the cottage cheese, eggs, and milk in a blender. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth. This step creates the fluffy texture.
  3. Pour the egg mixture into a bowl. Stir in the salt, pepper, shredded cheese, and any optional add-ins like bacon or spinach.
  4. Divide the mixture evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
  5. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the egg bites are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Let the egg bites cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before removing them.
  7. Serve warm or store them for meal prep.

Notes

  • For a Starbucks copycat texture, blend the cottage cheese and eggs until completely smooth.
  • If you prefer a different texture, you can use Greek yogurt instead of cottage cheese, but the texture will be slightly denser.
  • These egg bites freeze well. Cool completely, place in an airtight container, and freeze for up to one month. Reheat from frozen in the microwave for 60-90 seconds.
  • For low carb egg bites, skip any starchy vegetables and stick to cheese and meat additions.
