the best Cottage Cheese Egg Bites

These Cottage Cheese Egg Bites are the ultimate high-protein breakfast, made with just a few simple ingredients. They’re fluffy, creamy, and incredibly easy to prepare using a blender. Perfect for meal prep, these egg cups are a convenient grab-and-go option that stores and reheats beautifully.

Inspired by Starbucks’ popular egg bites, this homemade version delivers the same rich texture and flavor without the need for a sous vide.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

  • High Protein: Each serving of 2 to 3 bites packs 14 to 21 grams of protein.
  • Meal Prep Friendly: Store in the fridge or freezer and reheat in seconds.
  • Customizable: Add-ins like bacon, chives, veggies, or other cheeses make them easy to tailor to your tastes.

Ingredients

  • 8 to 9 large eggs
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (1% to 4% milk fat)
  • ½ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (or Gruyère)
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
  • ⅓ cup cooked bacon, chopped (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped chives (optional)
  • Cooking spray

How to Make Cottage Cheese Egg Bites

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly spray a silicone muffin pan with cooking spray.
  2. Blend the base: In a blender, combine eggs, cottage cheese, cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth.
  3. Fill the molds: Divide the egg mixture between the muffin cups, filling each slightly over halfway.
  4. Add toppings: Sprinkle with bacon and chives or other desired toppings.
  5. Bake: Bake for 20–22 minutes, or until set. Let cool slightly before removing from the silicone mold.

Tips for Success

  • Use a silicone muffin tray for easy removal.
  • If using a regular muffin tin, line with parchment liners.
  • Avoid overfilling the molds; the bites will rise while baking and settle as they cool.
  • To test for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center – it should come out clean.

Storage & Reheating

  • Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
  • Freezer: Flash freeze on a baking sheet, then transfer to a container for up to 3 months.
  • Reheat: Microwave chilled bites for 15–20 seconds. For frozen, microwave in 30-second intervals until warmed through.

Add-In Ideas

Customize your egg bites with a variety of mix-ins:

  • Cooked spinach or bell peppers
  • Feta, mozzarella, Gruyère, or parmesan cheese
  • Cooked sausage, ham, or mushrooms
  • Roasted red peppers, chopped broccoli, or even pepperoni

These Cottage Cheese Egg Bites are the perfect balance of flavor, nutrition, and convenience. Whether you’re rushing out the door or planning a leisurely brunch, this recipe has you covered with a satisfying and wholesome option!
