Step-by-Step Instructions for Cottage Cheese Egg Bites
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil or cooking spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, crack in the large eggs and whisk them vigorously until blended and frothy, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Gently fold in the cottage cheese into the egg mixture until smooth and well incorporated.
  4. Sprinkle in the shredded cheddar cheese and mix it evenly throughout the batter.
  5. Add the chopped spinach, red bell pepper, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and onion powder to the mixture and stir well.
  6. Mix the baking powder with a splash of water in a small bowl and then add it to the egg mixture. Stir until fully integrated.
  7. Pour in the olive oil while stirring until smooth and creamy.
  8. Spoon the prepared batter into the greased muffin tin cups, filling nearly to the top.
  9. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until the bites are golden on top and set.
  10. Let the Cottage Cheese Egg Bites cool in the muffin tin for about 5 minutes before gently removing them.
