Notes
Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Freeze for up to 2 months.
Microwave refrigerated egg bites for 20–30 seconds. If frozen, thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
For extra creamy texture, use 4.5% cottage cheese.
For easy removal, a silicone muffin pan works best.
Don’t overbake—remove as soon as centers are set to keep them soft and fluffy.
Nutritional information was calculated using 4.5% cottage cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and no mix-ins.
