Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 0.5 cup cottage cheese
- 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.25 cup milk
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup spinach, finely chopped
- olive oil spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly spray a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil spray.
In a blender, combine the large eggs, cottage cheese, cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, milk, salt, and black pepper. Blend until you have a smooth mixture.
Evenly distribute the chopped spinach across the muffin tin cups.
Pour the egg mixture into each muffin cup, ensuring each one is about 3/4 full. Give each one a quick stir to distribute the spinach throughout the mixture.
Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the egg bites are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow the egg bites to cool in the pan for 5 minutes.
Run a small spatula or butter knife around the edges of each egg bite to carefully remove them from the muffin tin.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat in the microwave or enjoy cold.
