Ingredients 8 Eggs 1 Cup Cottage cheese 1 Cup Broccoli, finely chopped ¼ tsp Ground black pepper ¼ tsp Salt 3/4 Cup Cheddar cheese, shredded How to Make These High Protein Egg Bites Recipe 1. Preheat oven to 350 and spray your muffin tray with non-stick spray. I recommend a silicone muffin pan, they will be easier to pop out later. 2. Chop your broccoli into fine pieces and set aside 3. Crack your eggs into the blender 4. Add cottage cheese to the blender 5. Blend for 30-60 seconds or until the egg mixture is smooth 6. Pour the cottage cheese egg mix into 12 muffin cups, only fill about 75% of the way to save room for veggies & cheese. 7. Add broccoli to each muffin up, press down with the back of a spoon to sink the broccoli in a bit. Sprinkle each muffin cup with 1 TBSP of shredded cheese 8. Bake for 20-22 minutes or until the eggs puff up and feel firm to touch in the center 9. Remove the egg cups from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes before removing from the pan 10. Serve immediately or store for later.
