# How to Make It:
01 -
Preheat oven to 175°C and lightly grease a silicone muffin tray with non-stick cooking spray or oil to ensure easy removal of the egg bites.
02 -
Combine eggs, cottage cheese, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder in a high-powered blender. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth.
03 -
Pour approximately 60 ml (1/4 cup) of the blended egg mixture into each cavity of the muffin tray.
04 -
Distribute shredded cheese and your selected mix-ins among the cups. Gently stir each portion with the back of a spoon to incorporate the additions. Top with extra shredded cheese if desired.
05 -
Bake for 18–22 minutes or until the egg bites are set and no longer jiggly in the center. Allow them to cool slightly before removing from the tray.
# Additional Information:
01 -
For an egg-white version, substitute whole eggs with 360 ml egg whites (approximately 12 egg whites); note this produces a slightly moister and less fluffy texture.
