Ingredients
 

  • 7 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese
  • 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup packed wilted spinach*, this was 2 cups packed fresh spinach to start
  • 3/4 cup prosciutto, ham or cooked bacon
  • OPTIONAL: 6 slices prosciutto, cut in half (only needed if you want to make the crispy cups)

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 wilted spinach, shredded cheese, and chopped meat, then add salt and pepper to taste.
  • OPTIONAL: If you want the egg cups to have a crispy texture, slice extra prosciutto slices in half, then press each one into a well of the muffin tin to form a base for the egg muffins.
  • Spoon the mixture into a silicone muffin pan until each well is 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 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.

Notes

  • *Wilted Spinach: You do not want to use fresh, un-sautéed spinach in this recipe or it will produce a very watery bite. Instead add 2 cups of fresh spinach to a skillet and sauté over medium heat until wilted completely, this takes about 6 minutes. Use a few paper towels to squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
  • Prosciutto Cups: If you want a crispy edge to your egg bites take 6 slices of proscuitto and cut in half. Press the slices into each muffin well, add the egg bite filling and bake according to the instructions.
