INGREDIENTS

3 large eggs

0.5 cup egg whites

0.5 cup low-fat cottage cheese

1 oz feta cheese

1 cup fresh spinach

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.5 tsp garlic powder

0.5 tsp extra virgin olive oil

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and place a baking dish filled with one inch of water on the bottom rack to create a steam-filled environment for even cooking.

• 2

  Lightly grease a silicone muffin tin with the extra virgin olive oil to ensure the egg bites release easily after baking.

• 3

  Place the whole eggs, egg whites, low-fat cottage cheese, sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder into a high-speed blender.

• 4

  Blend the mixture on high for 30 to 45 seconds until it is completely smooth, frothy, and well-aerated.

• 5

  Finely chop the fresh spinach and crumble the feta cheese into small pieces.

• 6

  Distribute the chopped spinach and crumbled feta evenly across six of the muffin tin cups.

• 7

  Pour the blended egg mixture over the spinach and feta, filling each cup until it is nearly at the top.

• 8

  Place the muffin tin on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the centers are just set and no longer jiggly.

• 9

  Remove from the oven and let the egg bites rest in the tin for 5 minutes before carefully popping them out to serve.
