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
• 0 nonstick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

Step 2

In a blender, combine the eggs, egg whites, cottage cheese, almond milk, ground black pepper, and basil. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Step 3

Chop the red bell pepper and green onion into small, fine pieces.

Step 4

Spray a muffin tin generously with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Pour the egg mixture evenly into each muffin cup, filling about three-quarters full.

Step 6

Sprinkle an even amount of grated cheddar, grated Monterey Jack cheese, chopped red bell pepper, and chopped green onion into each muffin cup.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Remove the egg bites from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before removing from the muffin tins.

Step 10

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.
