Ingredients:
- 6 large eggs (approx. 300g)
- 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese (225g)
- 0.5 cup shredded Gruyère cheese (50g)
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt (2.5g)
- 0.25 teaspoon cracked black pepper (1.25g)
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder (1.25g)
- 0.5 cup fresh baby spinach, finely chopped (30g)
- 0.25 cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped (40g)
- 0.25 cup crumbled feta cheese (35g)
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely minced (4g)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Place a 12-cup silicone muffin tin onto a sturdy baking sheet and lightly spray with non-stick olive oil spray.
- Add eggs, cottage cheese, shredded Gruyère, salt, pepper, and garlic powder to a blender. Process for 30 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and slightly frothy.
- In a small mixing bowl, toss together the chopped spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, and crumbled feta cheese.
- Evenly distribute the spinach and feta mixture into the bottom of the 12 muffin cups. Pour the blended egg mixture over the top, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
- Place a small pan of hot water on the bottom rack of the oven to create steam. Place the egg bites on the middle rack.
- Bake for 22–25 minutes. The centers should be just set and slightly jiggling, while the edges remain pale gold.
- Let the bites sit in the tin for 5 minutes to settle, then gently pop them out of the silicone mold.
