Ingredients
6 large eggs
1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup finely chopped cooked chicken strips
1/4 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick spray.
In a blender, combine the eggs, cottage cheese, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Pulse the mixture for about 30 seconds until completely smooth and frothy.
Divide the chopped spinach and cooked chicken strips evenly among the 12 muffin cups.
Pour the egg mixture over the fillings, filling each cup until about 3/4 full.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top of each egg bite.
Bake for 20 minutes until the centers are set and the tops are slightly golden.
Let the bites cool in the pan for 5 minutes before removing with a spatula.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave for 30 seconds. For a vegetarian option, substitute the chicken with sautéed mushrooms or bell peppers. Ensure the cottage cheese is blended thoroughly for the best texture.
