Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 1 cup egg whites
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 0.5 cup grated mild cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese
- 0.25 cup red bell pepper
- 0.25 cup green onion
- 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon basil leaves
- nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
In a blender, combine the eggs, egg whites, cottage cheese, almond milk, ground black pepper, and basil. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Chop the red bell pepper and green onion into small, fine pieces.
Spray a muffin tin generously with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Pour the egg mixture evenly into each muffin cup, filling about three-quarters full.
Sprinkle an even amount of grated cheddar, grated Monterey Jack cheese, chopped red bell pepper, and chopped green onion into each muffin cup.
Place the muffin tin into a larger baking dish. Fill the baking dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the muffin tin, creating a water bath.
Carefully place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the centers of the egg bites are just set.
Remove the egg bites from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before removing from the muffin tins.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat for about 30 seconds in the microwave before serving.
