Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 6 pieces eggs
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
  • 1/2 cup diced vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, spinach, tomatoes) Feel free to switch up the vegetables based on what’s in your fridge.
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Cooking spray or oil for greasing the muffin tin

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a muffin tin generously with cooking spray or oil.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese, eggs, shredded cheese, and diced vegetables until well combined.
  3. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to your liking.
  4. Carefully pour the egg mixture into each muffin cup, filling them about two-thirds full to allow for rising.
Baking
  1. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are set and lightly golden.
  2. Let the bites cool slightly before gently removing them from the tin.
  3. Enjoy these warm or let them cool for storage later!

Notes

To keep your bites fresh, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days. They also freeze wonderfully. For serving, consider pairing with a fresh salad or yogurt dip.
