Ingredients
  

  • 6 large egg s
  • 1 cup low -fat cottage cheese (2% milkfat)
  • 0.5 cup liquid egg whites
  • 0.5 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 0.5 cup finely chopped fresh baby spinach
  • 0.25 cup cooked and crumbled bacon
  • 0.25 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Place a 12-cup silicone muffin pan onto a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Place a separate roasting pan filled with 1 inch of hot water on the bottom rack of the oven to create a humid environment.
  • Add the eggs, cottage cheese, egg whites, salt, and pepper into a high-speed blender.
  • Emulsify the mixture on medium-high speed for 30 to 45 seconds until completely smooth and slightly frothy.
  • Distribute the chopped spinach and crumbled bacon evenly across the bottom of the 12 muffin cups.
  • Divide the egg mixture evenly among the cups, filling each to approximately 80% capacity.
  • Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of each cup.
  • Bake for 30 minutes or until the egg bites are set and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  • Remove from the oven and allow the bites to rest in the silicone mold for 5 minutes to facilitate clean release.
  • Carefully depan the egg bites and serve immediately or refrigerate for meal prep.
