Ingredient Tips for Cottage Cheese Egg Bites

Cottage Cheese: Go for full-fat cottage cheese for the best flavor! Small or large curd cottage cheese won’t matter since it will be blended into a creamy base with the eggs and cheese.
Eggs: This recipe uses whole eggs, but you can use a carton of egg whites if that’s what you have.
Cheese: Cheese and eggs are a perfect pair! Cheddar, Swiss, Monterey Jack, Gruyere cheese, feta, or any blend of cheeses work in cottage cheese bites.
Seasonings: Spice up these egg bites by adding some everything bagel (a kid-favorite!) seasoning, a taco blend seasoning, or a zesty Cajun seasoning.

Favorite Variations

When it comes to add-ins, almost anything goes. Just be sure to finely chop them so the egg bites stay intact.

Meat: Add some extra protein by mixing in some bacon bits, diced ham, or crumbled sausage.
Veggies: Tomatoes, bell peppers, mushrooms, spinach, or green onions provide must-try color, texture, and nutrients to egg bites.

Let the egg bites cool slightly in the muffin liners before removing them. This will help them keep their structure and reduce the chance of them sticking!
Be sure to grease the muffin tin or liners well to prevent sticking as well.
To freeze, spread the egg bites out individually on a baking tray. Once frozen (or partially frozen), store them in a zippered freezer bag for a grab-and-go breakfast!

Best Way to Store Egg Bites

Store cottage cheese egg bites in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Or freeze egg bites (see tips above) for up to 3 months and reheat in the microwave from frozen, or thaw first in the refrigerator.
