Protein Egg Bites
PROTEIN Powerhouse Egg Bites are a Breakfast Game Changer!
Equipment
- Rotary Cheese Grater optional
- Dutch Whisk optional
Ingredients
- 8 eggs large
- 1 cup cottage cheese 2% preferred
- 2 oz Gruyère cheese shredded
- 2 oz Monterey Jack cheese shredded
- 6 slices turkey bacon (Applegate preferred or higher protein as discussed in video)
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp ground pepper
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
Instructions
- Prepare Turkey Bacon: Cook turkey bacon. Follow directions on package. Most times, pre-heat oven to 400°F. Cook turkey bacon for 10-15 minutes. Chop turkey bacon, then set aside.
- Prepare Egg Bites: Crack eggs into a bowl. Whisk them together. Now, add cottage cheese, shredded Gruyère cheese, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, chopped turkey bacon, onion powder, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, ground pepper, and ground Himalayan sea salt. Mix that together until it’s fully incorporated.
- Now, pre-heat your oven to 325° Fahrenheit. Get out a standard size muffin tin and line it with 12 muffin liners. Carefully pour even amounts into each muffin cup until all the ingredients are used, using 1/4 cup measuring cup.
- Now, put the muffin tin into the oven at 325°F for 25-35 minutes. You will know when it’s done by putting a toothpick in, with no egg batter coming out. And the tops will brown slightly. Let them cool for a few minutes, then serve and enjoy!
