Ingredients
For the Egg Bites:

6 large eggs
1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your preferred choice)
1/4 cup milk (or cream for extra richness)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon fresh herbs (parsley, chives, or spinach), chopped (optional)
1/4 cup diced bell peppers (optional)
1/4 cup diced tomatoes (optional)
1 tablespoon olive oil (for greasing the muffin tin)

Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Prepare the Egg Mixture

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, shredded cheese, and milk.
Add the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is well combined.
Fold in the fresh herbs and any optional ingredients like bell peppers or diced tomatoes for extra flavor and color.

3. Prepare the Muffin Tin

Grease a muffin tin with olive oil or line it with paper liners. This will ensure the egg bites don’t stick and are easy to remove after baking.

4. Fill the Muffin Tin

Pour the egg mixture evenly into the muffin tin, filling each muffin cup about 3/4 full. The mixture should make around 8-10 egg bites, depending on the size of your muffin tin.

5. Bake the Egg Bites

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the egg bites are set and slightly golden on top. You can check doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center—if it comes out clean, they are ready.

6. Serve & Enjoy

Allow the egg bites to cool for a few minutes before removing them from the muffin tin.
Serve warm, or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. They also freeze well for up to 1 month.

Tips & Variations

Add Veggies: Feel free to mix in any veggies you like, such as spinach, zucchini, or mushrooms.
Make It Spicy: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or jalapeños to the egg mixture for some heat.
Low-Carb Option: Keep the recipe as is for a low-carb meal, or add bacon or sausage for extra protein.
Dairy-Free: Use a dairy-free cheese alternative and non-dairy milk (such as almond or oat milk) for a dairy-free version.
