Summary
i love to meal prep a big batch of these light and fluffy egg bites to make sure we have a healthy breakfast option on-hand throughout the week. the addition of blended cottage cheese amps up the protein content and gives these bites a delicious, custard-like quality. for an even smoother texture, i like to bake my egg bites in a water bath– i promise it’s worth the extra step, just remember to be careful when removing from the oven! my favorite thing about this recipe is that it is so customizable: feel free to swap the peppers and onions for mushrooms, mix in some shredded cheese, or add breakfast sausage instead of bacon. the possibilities are endless!
