Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 4 slices bacon cooked and finely chopped
- 1 c cottage cheese
- 1 c shredded Gruyere cheese
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Prepare the Oven and Muffin Tin
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Generously coat a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
Blend the Egg Mixture
- In a blender, combine the eggs, cottage cheese, salt, and black pepper. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth.
Add the Gruyere
- Pour the blended egg mixture into a mixing bowl. Stir in the shredded Gruyere cheese until evenly combined.
Fill the Muffin Tin
- Divide the egg mixture evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each cup approximately two-thirds full. Leave room at the top, as the egg mixture will rise during baking.
Add the Bacon
- Sprinkle the chopped bacon evenly over the tops of the egg mixture. Gently press the bacon into each cup with a spoon so it is slightly submerged.
Bake
- Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the egg bites are fully set in the center.
Rest and Remove
- Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the egg bites to rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Carefully loosen each egg bite with a spoon and remove from the pan.
Serve
- Serve warm and enjoy.
