How to Make High Protein Egg Bites
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 325°F. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin well or use parchment liners.
Step 2: Prepare the Vegetables
Finely chop your vegetables and sauté until the onions are translucent and the peppers are softened. Remove from heat and let cool slightly for about 5 minutes.
Step 3: Mix the Egg Base
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until smooth and combined.
Step 4: Add the Fillings
Stir in the shredded cheese and sautéed vegetables.
Step 5: Fill and Bake
Divide the mixture evenly between the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake for 20–30 minutes, or until the centers are set and the tops are lightly golden.
Step 6: Cool and Serve
Allow the egg bites to cool slightly, then run a knife around the edges to release them from the muffin tin.
