Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with silicone molds to prevent sticking.
Blend Wet Ingredients: In a blender, combine 6 large eggs, 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt, and 1/2 cup cottage cheese. Blend the mixture until smooth and frothy to ensure a creamy and consistent texture.
Mix in Add-ins: Pour the blended mixture into a large bowl. Stir in 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/3 cup chopped spinach, and 1/4 cup diced bell pepper. Season the mixture with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, mixing thoroughly.
Fill Muffin Tin: Pour the combined mixture evenly into the prepared muffin cups. If you choose to add extra protein, distribute 1/4 cup cooked bacon or turkey sausage evenly among the cups.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 22–25 minutes, until the centers are set and the tops turn lightly golden. After baking, allow the egg bites to cool for 5 minutes before removing them from the pan to firm up fully and make handling easier.

Notes

Use silicone muffin molds or well-grease your tin to prevent sticking.
