Ingredients

• 6 large eggs
• 1/2 cup cottage cheese
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup diced bell peppers
• 1/4 cup chopped spinach
• 1/4 cup diced ham or cooked bacon (optional)
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• Non-stick cooking spray

Instructions

1. Preparation: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Place a baking dish filled halfway with hot water on the lower rack of the oven to create a steamy environment for the egg bites.
2. Blending the Eggs: In a blender, combine the eggs, cottage cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Blend until smooth and well combined.
3. Preparing the Muffin Tin: Spray a non-stick muffin tin with cooking spray. Evenly divide the diced bell peppers, chopped spinach, and diced ham or bacon (if using) among the muffin cups.
4. Filling the Muffin Cups: Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables and meat in the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
5. Baking: Place the muffin tin on the middle rack of the oven, above the water bath. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the egg bites are set and slightly golden on top.
6. Cooling and Storing: Allow the egg bites to cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before removing them. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
