Easy Egg Bites for Busy Mornings

Step 1 Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a muffin tin or use silicone cups. This stops sticking and makes cleanup easy. A light spray works best. Step 2 Blend eggs, cottage cheese, salt, and pepper. Do this for 10-15 seconds. The mix should be smooth and creamy. No lumps means even baking. Step 3 Add your favorite mix-ins to each cup. Pour the egg mix over them. Fill cups 3/4 full to avoid spills. (Hard-learned tip: Chop veggies small so they cook fast.) Step 4 Bake 25 minutes until puffed and golden. Let cool 5 minutes before removing. They’ll shrink a bit—that’s normal. Enjoy warm or store for later. What’s your go-to mix-in for egg bites? Share below!
