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!

Ingredients

  • 16 oz. egg whites
  • ½ of a red bell pepper
  • ½ of a medium onion

  • 16 oz. cottage cheese

  1. preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. dice the bell pepper, onion, and turkey bacon. roughly chop the spinach and set aside.
  3. heat a small amount of avocado oil in a pan over medium heat, then add the onion and cook for 3 minutes until slightly softened.
  4. add bell pepper and continue cooking for another 3 minutes, then stir in turkey bacon, spinach, and seasonings. cover and remove from heat.
  5. in a food processor, blend cottage cheese until smooth.
