Make simple, high-protein egg cups similar to Starbucks egg bites using cottage cheese for a smooth texture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (e.g., Monterey Jack or cheddar)
  • 1/2 cup cooked, chopped mix-ins (e.g., spinach, ham, bell peppers)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin well.
  2. In a blender, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, salt, and pepper. Blend until completely smooth, about 30 seconds.
  3. Divide the shredded cheese and chopped mix-ins evenly among the muffin cups.
  4. Pour the egg mixture over the fillings in each cup, filling them about three-quarters full.
  5. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the centers are set and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  6. Let the cups cool in the tin for 5 minutes before removing them.

Notes

  • For a texture closer to sous-vide, blend the mixture longer until very fine.
  • These cups store well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days for meal prep.
  • Reheat in the microwave for 30 to 45 seconds.
