    shredded

    ½ c
  • mix-ins of choice
    1 c

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350 F and lightly grease a silicone muffin tray. I like using non-stick cooking spray to help ensure the egg bites easily slide out of the tray once baked (though a little oil will work as well)!

  2. 2

    In a high powered blender, add eggs cottage cheese, and spices. Blend until smooth.

  3. 3

    Divide the egg mixture into the prepared silicone muffin tray (pouring about 1/4 cup in each cavity).

  4. 4

    Top each cup with cheese and desired mix-ins. Use the back of a spoon to gently mix the toppings into the egg cups. You may want to add a sprinkle of additional cheese to the top of each cup.

  5. 5

    Bake for about 18-22 minutes or until the egg cups are no longer jiggly and the eggs look set. Allow to cool slightly before removing from the tray.
