Ingredients
- 7 large eggs
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese

- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/4 cup white onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup green bell pepper, finely chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Equipment
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325F.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and the cottage cheese until well combined.
- Fold in the ham cheese, onion and peppers, then add salt and pepper to taste.
- Spoon the mixture into a silicone muffin pan until each well is 3/4 full.
- Add about an inch of water to a 9×13-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 if you're using a mini muffin size pan or 20-24 minutes if you are using a standard size muffin pan. Eggs should be cooked through when finished.
