Ingredients

  • 8 large egg s
  • 1 cup full -fat cottage cheese (4% milkfat)
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Way 1 (Bacon & Gruyere): 1/4 cup cooked bacon bits and 1/4 cup shredded Gruyere cheese
  • Way 2 (Sausage & Cheddar): 1/4 cup cooked crumbled breakfast sausage and 1/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar
  • Way 3 (Spinach & Feta): 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh spinach and 2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese
  • Way 4 (Broccoli & Cheddar): 1/4 cup finely chopped steamed broccoli florets and 1/4 cup shredded mild cheddar
  • Way 5 (Red Pepper & Onion): 2 tablespoons finely diced red bell pepper and 1 tablespoon sliced green onions

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Place a 9x13 inch baking pan filled with 1 inch of hot water on the bottom oven rack to create a steam-filled environment.
  • Generously grease a 12-cup silicone muffin pan with avocado oil spray or melted butter. Avoid paper liners as the eggs will adhere to them.
  • In a high-speed blender, combine the eggs, cottage cheese, heavy cream, sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
  • Blend on high for 30-45 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and aerated with small bubbles.
  • Distribute the specific variation toppings into the bottom of the muffin cups. For '5 Ways' in one batch, place toppings for Way 1 in two cups, Way 2 in two cups, and so forth.
  • Pour the blended egg mixture over the toppings in each cup, filling them approximately 3/4 full to allow for expansion.
  • Use a toothpick or small skewer to gently swirl the ingredients in each cup to ensure even distribution of the fillings.
  • Place the muffin pan on the middle rack, directly above the water bath. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Check for doneness: the centers should be just set and not jiggly, but the tops should not be deeply browned.
  • Remove from the oven and allow the bites to cool in the pan for 5 to 10 minutes. This resting period allows the structure to firm up for clean removal from the silicone mold.
