In a large bowl, whisk the eggs. Then whisk in the cheese, cottage cheese, salt and pepper. Alternately (suggested from readers), you can combine the eggs and cottage cheese in the blender, and then stir in the cheese, salt and pepper. This results in a fluffier texture without the cottage cheese being visually present.

These are perfect for a quick, satisfying breakfast or a convenient snack you can grab on the go.
While delicious as is, these egg bites are also wonderfully adaptable.
