Ingredients

Instructions

  • Grease muffin tin with avocado oil or coconut oil
  • Preheat oven to 350F (180c)
  • Add eggs, cottage cheese, cream and salt to blender and blend for 30 seconds or until smooth
  • Add chopped peppers and spinach to egg mixture
  • Carefully pour into muffin tins until just a little less than full
  • Bake for 20 minutes until eggs are set
  • Remove and let cool slightly before serving

Notes

  • How to remove the egg bites from the muffin tin? Use a knife to gently loosen the edges before removing from the tin.
  • Leftovers? Store egg bites in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat in the microwave for 30 seconds.
  • Freeze egg muffins? Store in an airtight container and freeze. Defrost and then reheat in the microwave for 30 seconds or in the oven. You can also microwave from frozen.
  • Substitute ingredients? Instead of peppers (capsicum) and spinach, try leftover ham, cooked bacon bits, diced or cherry tomatoes, chopped asparagus, zucchini, mushroom or scallions, cheeses like feta, cheddar, mozzarella.
