Ingredients

  • 6 large egg s
  • 1.25 cups low -fat cottage cheese
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.25 teaspoon onion powder
  • 0.5 cup chopped fresh baby spinach

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously grease a 12-cup standard muffin tin or use silicone muffin liners.
  • Place the eggs, cottage cheese, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder into a high-speed blender.
  • Process on high for 30 to 45 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and contains no cottage cheese curds.
  • Distribute the chopped spinach evenly into the bottom of the 12 muffin cups.
  • Stir the shredded cheddar and Parmesan cheese into the egg mixture by hand.
  • Pour the mixture into the muffin cups, filling each approximately three-quarters full.
  • Bake for 22 to 25 minutes until the egg bites are set and the centers no longer jiggle when the pan is moved.
  • Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes in the pan; the bites will deflate slightly as they cool.
  • Carefully run a thin spatula or knife around the edges to release from the tin and serve.
