Creating Cottage Cheese Egg Bites is an easy process. Follow these steps to get those delectable bites ready:
1. Preheat Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a muffin tin by spraying it with non-stick cooking spray or lining it with muffin liners.
2. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine cottage cheese, eggs, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Whisk until well blended.
3. Add Cheese: Fold in the shredded cheese, mixing thoroughly for even distribution.
4. Incorporate Vegetables: Gently stir in the chopped vegetables of your choice, ensuring they’re evenly spread through the mixture.
5. Fill Muffin Tin: Pour the mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full.
6. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Cool: Once baked, remove from the oven and let the bites cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Carefully take them out and place them on a wire rack to cool completely.
