Make simple, high-protein egg bites at home using cottage cheese for a texture similar to Starbucks egg bites. These are great for meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup cooked mix-ins (e.g., diced ham, spinach, cooked bacon)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
  2. In a blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, shredded cheese, salt, and pepper. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth.
  3. Stir in your cooked mix-ins by hand. Do not overmix.
  4. Pour the egg mixture evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
  5. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the centers are set and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
  6. Remove from the oven and let the cups cool in the tin for 5 minutes before carefully removing them.

Notes

  • For a texture closer to sous-vide, place the muffin tin inside a larger baking dish and add hot water to the dish until it reaches halfway up the sides of the muffin tin (water bath). Bake for 30-35 minutes.
  • These protein egg cups store well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days for easy meal prep.
  • You can substitute any cooked vegetables or meats for the mix-ins to create different crustless quiche cups variations.
