Ingredients

• 6 large eggs

• 1/2 cup whole milk cottage cheese

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

• 1 cup fresh spinach, steamed and chopped (or 1/2 cup frozen, thawed and squeezed dry)

• 1/2 cup roasted red peppers, chopped

• 2 green onions, thinly sliced

• Olive oil or cooking spray for greasing

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a nonstick muffin tin with olive oil or cooking spray.

2. Blend the egg mixture: In a blender, combine the eggs, cottage cheese, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

3. Prepare the vegetables: Steam the spinach for about 1 minute until wilted. Transfer it to a strainer and squeeze out excess moisture. Chop it roughly.

4. Mix the veggies: In a medium bowl, combine the chopped spinach, roasted red peppers, and green onions. Set aside 1/4 cup of the mixture for topping.

5. Assemble the egg bites: Evenly distribute the vegetable mixture among the muffin cups. Pour the blended egg mixture over the vegetables, filling each cup about 3/4 full. Sprinkle the reserved vegetables on top for extra color and flavor.

6. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the eggs are set and slightly puffed.

7. Cool and serve: Let the egg bites rest in the pan for 5 minutes before carefully removing them.

Storage and Reheating Tips

• Store egg bites in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave for 20-30 seconds.

• For longer storage, freeze egg bites in a sealed container for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.

Enjoy these egg bites as a nutritious breakfast or snack any time of the day!
