Get the Recipe: Egg Bites
These cheesy, bacon egg bites are the perfect snack, appetizer, or side dish. They're fun, decadent, and super easy to make.
Ingredients
- 7 large eggs
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese
- 3/4 cup cooked and chopped bacon
- 3/4 cup shredded gruyere cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325F.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and the cottage cheese until well combined.
- Fold in the bacon and the shredded cheese, then add salt and pepper to taste.
- Spoon the mixture into a 24-count silicone muffin tin until 3/4 full.
- Add about an inch of water to a 9x13-inch baking dish. Place the silicone muffin tin inside the baking dish so the eggs can cook slowly in a water bath.
- Cook the egg bites for 25-30 minutes, until the eggs are cooked through.
Notes
- If you do not have a 9x13-inch baking pan that the muffin tin will set inside, you can fill a casserole dish with an inch of water and place it on the bottom rack of the oven. Then cook the egg bites on the middle or top rack.
- You can blend the eggs and cottage cheese in a blender until smooth if you dislike the texture of cottage cheese curds.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 4 days, or in the freezer for 3 months. Reheat in a 350F oven for 5-10 minutes, or in a microwave on 80% power in 20-second increments.
