Ingredients

  • Extra-virgin olive oil for greasing
  • 3 cups fresh spinach about 3 ounces
  • 6 large eggs
  • ½ cup diced roasted red bell pepper about 1 pepper
  • ½ cup chopped green onions about 2 green onions
  • ¾ cup whole milk cottage cheese
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F and lightly coat a nonstick muffin tin with extra-virgin olive oil to prevent sticking.
  • In a blender, combine the eggs, cottage cheese, sea salt, and a few grinds of freshly cracked black pepper. Blend the mixture until completely smooth and well-combined.
  • Meanwhile, place the spinach in a steamer basket over a pot with about an inch of water. Bring the water to a gentle simmer, cover the pot, and let the spinach steam for about a minute, or until it's fully wilted. Remove the spinach, press out the excess moisture using a strainer, and give it a rough chop.
  • In a bowl, toss together the chopped spinach, roasted red bell peppers, and green onions. Set aside ¼ cup of this vegetable mixture to use as a garnish later.
  • Evenly distribute the remaining vegetable mixture into the muffin tin cups. Pour just under ¼ cup of the egg blend into each cup, covering the vegetables. If there's any egg mixture left, distribute it evenly between the wells. Lastly, sprinkle the reserved ¼ cup of vegetables over the top of each filled cup.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the egg bites are set and no longer jiggly in the center. Allow them to cool for about 5 minutes before gently removing them from the pan.
