High-Protein Egg Bites
Servings: 6 (1 Serving = 2 Egg Bites)
Prep Time: 10 Minutes
Cook Time: 25 Minutes
Ingredients:
10 Large Eggs
1 Cup Non-Fat Cottage Cheese
6 Slices Turkey Bacon
1/2 Cup Diced Bell Peppers
1/4 Cup Diced Spinach
1/4 Cup Finely Chopped Green Onions
1/4 Tsp Garlic Powder
Salt and Pepper, To Taste
1 Tsp Olive Oil
Avocado Oil Non-Stick Spray
Directions:
For this recipe, you'll need:
• Muffin Tin or Silicone Egg Bite Molds
• Large Mixing Bowl
• Skillet
• Whisk
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease your muffin tin or silicone molds with avocado oil spray. If using a cast-iron muffin pan, place it in the oven while it heats.
2. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and cottage cheese until the mixture is mostly smooth, with small curds remaining.
3. In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 Tsp of olive oil and sauté the bell peppers, spinach, and green onions until just softened. Let cool slightly.
4. While the vegetables sauté, cook your turkey bacon according to the instructions on the package. Let cool slightly, then dice.
5. Add the cooked meat and sautéed vegetables to the egg mixture. Stir in garlic powder, salt, and pepper until everything is well combined.
6. Divide the mixture evenly between 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full to allow room to rise.
7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are set and lightly golden. A toothpick should come out clean.
8. Let cool for a few minutes before running a knife around the edges to release. Serve warm or refrigerate for meal prep.
