Egg Bites

• servings: 12 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

7 large eggs

1/2 cup cottage cheese

3/4 cup cooked and chopped bacon

3/4 cup shredded gruyere cheese

Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Preheat the oven to 325F.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and the cottage cheese until well combined.

Fold in the bacon and the shredded cheese, then add salt and pepper to taste.

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.
