Ingredients:

• 9 large eggs
• 1 cup cottage cheese
• 1 cup cheddar cheese, divided
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 head broccoli, chopped
• 1 cup spinach, chopped

Directions:

1. Preheat the Oven:

• Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
• Prepare a silicone muffin tray with non-stick spray to prevent sticking.

2. Blend the Egg Mixture:

• In a blender, add the eggs, cottage cheese, half of the cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper.
• Blend the mixture until smooth and well-combined.

3. Fill the Muffin Tray:

• Pour the egg mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tray, filling each slot halfway. Keep in mind that the egg bites will rise as they bake.

4. Add the Veggies and Cheese:

• Evenly distribute the chopped broccoli and spinach over the egg mixture in the muffin tray.
• Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top of each egg bite.
• Optionally, add a pinch of extra salt and pepper on top for added flavor.

5. Bake:

• Bake the egg bites for 30 minutes at 300°F, or until they are set and slightly golden on top.

6. Cool and Serve:

• Once baked, remove the tray from the oven and allow the egg bites to cool slightly before removing them from the muffin tray.
• Serve warm or store them in the fridge for an easy grab-and-go breakfast during the week.
