Instructions
- 01
Place a baking dish on the bottom rack of the oven then fill with a couple inches of very hot water. Close oven door then preheat oven to 325 degrees.
- 02
To a blender, add eggs, cottage cheese, salt, and pepper then blend until very smooth.
- 03
Place 2, 24 cup mini silicone muffin pans on top of a half sheet pan (see notes re: size of mini muffin pan and how many bites you’ll get if your pan has different dimensions than mine!) Fill each cup with a small amount of crumbled bacon or browned sausage, and shredded cheese, then fill to just below the top with the egg and cottage cheese mixture.
- 04
Bake for 20-25 minutes, rotating the sheet pan halfway through, or until the centers of the bites are set. Let cool for 2-3 minutes in the mini muffin pan then pop bites out of the pan and transfer to a cooling rack. Enjoy warm, or let cool completely then store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
