Step-by-Step Instructions for Cottage Cheese Egg Bites
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and spray a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking oil spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy. Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  3. Fold in the cottage cheese, shredded Colby Jack cheese, and bacon bits until just combined.
  4. Spoon the egg mixture into the muffin cups, filling them about ¾ full.
  5. Place a shallow pan filled with hot water on the lower oven rack to create steam.
  6. Bake for 23-25 minutes until edges are set but centers jiggle slightly.
  7. Allow to cool for 5 minutes, then run a knife around the edges to release the bites.
  8. Serve warm or at room temperature, perhaps alongside fresh fruit or toast.
