Description

Creamy, custard-like high-protein egg bites made with cottage cheese, spinach, and feta. Ready in under 20 minutes and perfect for meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale

1 cup (225g) full-fat cottage cheese
4 large eggs
2 tablespoons (30ml) heavy cream
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup (30g) chopped spinach (frozen or fresh)
1/2 cup (75g) crumbled feta cheese
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
Avocado oil spray or cooking spray

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C) and grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
Add cottage cheese, eggs, heavy cream, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to a blender.
Blend on high for 45-60 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and silky.
If using frozen spinach, thaw and squeeze out all excess water until dry. Chop finely.
Add spinach, feta cheese, and any optional mix-ins to the blender and pulse a few times to distribute.
Pour the mixture into the prepared muffin cups, filling them about 3/4 full.
Bake for 15-18 minutes until the tops are set, slightly golden, and a knife inserted comes out clean.
Let cool in the tin for 5 minutes before removing to serve.

Notes

Ensure spinach is thoroughly squeezed dry to prevent watery bites. Blend cottage cheese until completely smooth for a custard-like texture. Do not overfill muffin cups as they will rise. Can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
