Ingredients
Method
Prepare the Oven and Muffin Tin
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that the egg bites cook evenly and thoroughly.
- Grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or line with silicone muffin cups to prevent sticking.
Blend the Egg Mixture
- In a blender or food processor, combine the eggs and cottage cheese. Blend until smooth. This will create a creamy base for your egg bites.
- Add salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to the mixture. Blend again until well combined.
Mix in Vegetables and Cheese
- In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped spinach, diced bell pepper, sliced green onion, and shredded cheese.
- Pour the egg and cottage cheese mixture over the vegetables and cheese. Stir gently to combine, ensuring the vegetables are evenly distributed.
Fill Muffin Tin and Bake
- Pour the egg mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full. This allows room for the egg bites to rise.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the egg bites are set and lightly golden on top. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of a bite; it should come out clean.
Cool and Store
- Once baked, remove the muffin tin from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. This makes it easier to remove the egg bites.
- Carefully run a knife around the edges of each egg bite and gently lift them out of the tin.
- Allow the egg bites to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Notes
