Delicious Cottage Cheese Egg Bites for a Healthy Start

One of those recipes that quietly slipped into my weekly rotation and never left is my Cottage Cheese Egg Bites. It started during a hectic week when I needed a quick, satisfying breakfast that didn’t feel like a compromise. After a few tries — some too dry, some too runny — I finally nailed the balance that makes these egg bites so creamy and tender, thanks largely to the cottage cheese. Now, these Cottage Cheese Egg Bites aren’t just convenient; they’re a little morning hug I look forward to every day.

They bake up perfectly in a muffin tin or little ramekins, making them easy to portion and pack if you’re on the go.

Quick prep tip: Chop your veggies the night before or use pre-chopped frozen veggies to save time. Also, keep those eggs in a cool spot so they’re fresh and ready when you’re ready to cook.
