Ingredients
  

8 large eggs

1/2 cup cottage cheese (or cream cheese for a creamier texture)

1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite)

1/2 cup chopped spinach (fresh or frozen, thawed)

1/4 cup diced red bell pepper

1/4 cup cooked and crumbled bacon or sausage (optional)

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Cooking spray or oil for greasing

Instructions
 

Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or oil to prevent sticking.

    Blend the Eggs: In a blender, combine the eggs, cottage cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

      Add Ingredients: While the blender is running, slowly add in the shredded cheese. Once combined, stop blending.

        Mix in Vegetables: In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped spinach, diced red bell pepper, and cooked bacon or sausage (if using). Gently fold the vegetable mix into the egg mixture.

          Pour into Muffin Tin: Pour the egg mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

            Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the egg bites have risen and are set in the center.

              Cool and Remove: Once baked, let the egg bites cool for a few minutes before using a knife to gently loosen them from the muffin tin. Carefully remove them and let them cool on a wire rack.

                Serve or Store: Enjoy your egg bites warm or refrigerate them for up to 5 days. They can be reheated in the microwave or enjoyed cold.
