Description
Fluffy, high-protein egg bites loaded with tender broccoli and melted sharp cheddar cheese. These custardy, café-style bites are perfect for grab-and-go breakfasts or snacks.
Ingredients
8 large eggs
1/2 cup cottage cheese
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 cup finely chopped steamed broccoli
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a muffin tin with non-stick spray or coconut oil.
Steam broccoli florets until tender, then finely chop.
Blend eggs, cottage cheese, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until smooth.
Divide broccoli and cheddar cheese evenly among 12 muffin cups.
Pour egg mixture over the fillings, filling each cup three-quarters full.
Place a shallow pan with 1 inch of hot water on the bottom oven rack (water bath method).
Bake for 20-25 minutes until set.
Cool for 5 minutes, then release with a knife.
Notes
For best results, use sharp cheddar for stronger flavor.
The water bath prevents cracking and ensures a velvety texture.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for 2 months.
