INGREDIENTS

3 large Eggs

0.5 cup Egg whites

0.5 cup Low-fat cottage cheese

1 oz Sharp cheddar cheese

1 cup Fresh spinach

0.25 cup Red bell pepper

1 tsp Avocado oil

0.25 tsp Sea salt

0.25 tsp Black pepper

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 300°F and lightly grease a silicone muffin pan with avocado oil to ensure the bites release easily.

• 2

  Finely dice the red bell pepper and roughly chop the fresh spinach into small ribbons.

• 3

  In a high-speed blender, combine the whole eggs, egg whites, cottage cheese, sea salt, and black pepper.

• 4

  Blend on high for 30 to 45 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth, light, and aerated.

• 5

  Pour the egg mixture into a large mixing bowl and fold in the diced red bell pepper and chopped spinach by hand.

• 6

  Divide the mixture evenly among 6 to 8 muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters of the way to the top.

• 7

  Sprinkle the shredded sharp cheddar cheese over each cup, allowing it to settle into the egg mixture.

• 8

  Place a separate baking dish filled with one inch of hot water on the bottom rack of the oven to create a steam-filled environment.

• 9

  Bake the egg bites on the middle rack for 25-30 minutes until the edges are firm and the centers have a slight, soft jiggle.

• 10

  Remove from the oven and let the bites rest in the pan for 5 minutes before gently popping them out to serve warm.
