  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
  • Non -stick cooking spray

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C) and place a large baking pan filled with 1 inch of water on the lower oven rack to create a steam environment.
  • Place the eggs, cottage cheese, salt, black pepper, and hot sauce into a high-speed blender.
  • Process the mixture on high speed for 30 to 45 seconds until completely smooth and slightly frothy.
  • Generously coat a 6-cup silicone muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Distribute the shredded Gruyere cheese and crumbled bacon evenly into the bottom of each muffin cup.
  • Pour the blended egg mixture over the cheese and bacon until each cup is approximately three-quarters full.
  • Place the muffin pan on the middle rack directly above the water bath.
  • Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the eggs are just set and no longer liquid in the center.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before gently removing the bites with a silicone spatula.
