Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preheat Oven

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Lightly grease a muffin tin or silicone mold.

Step 2: Blend the Base

In a blender, combine eggs, cottage cheese, milk, salt, and pepper. Blend until completely smooth.

💡 Blending ensures that signature silky texture.

Step 3: Add Cheese & Mix-ins

Stir in shredded cheese and any optional add-ins.

Step 4: Fill the Molds

Pour the mixture evenly into the muffin tin, filling each about ¾ full.

Step 5: Bake

Place the muffin tin in a larger baking dish and add hot water to create a water bath (this keeps the egg bites soft).
Bake for 25–30 minutes until set and slightly firm.

Step 6: Cool and Serve

Let cool for a few minutes before removing from the mold. Serve warm.
