Egg Bites

Egg Bites

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Place a baking dish filled with water on the bottom rack to create steam.
2. In a blender, combine the eggs, cottage cheese, Gruyère, Monterey Jack, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Blend until smooth.
3. Spray a silicone muffin tray or silicone egg bite molds with non-stick cooking spray. If using bacon or spinach, add a little to each mold.
4. Pour the egg mixture into each mold, filling them about three-quarters full. Place the tray on the middle rack and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the egg bites are set and slightly golden on top.
5. Let the egg bites cool slightly before removing them from the molds. Serve warm, or store in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Tip: For a sous vide-like texture, bake at a lower temperature (275°F/135°C) for 50-60 minutes.
