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
- 0 olive oil spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly spray a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil spray.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Evenly distribute the chopped spinach across the muffin tin cups.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Remove from the oven and allow the egg bites to cool in the pan for 5 minutes.
Step 7
Run a small spatula or butter knife around the edges of each egg bite to carefully remove them from the muffin tin.
Step 8
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat in the microwave or enjoy cold.
