Place on the bottom rack of the oven. This helps to keep the egg muffins moist and tender while baking.<\/p>\n<p>Preheat the oven to 350\u2109. Generously grease a 12-cup, non-stick muffin pan with cooking spray, set aside. Alternatively, you can line the muffin pan with silicone muffin liners.<\/p>\n<p>Combine the eggs, cottage cheese, black pepper, and oregano in a blender. Blend until well combined and smooth.<\/p>\n<p>Evenly divide the peppers, spinach, and feta cheese among the muffin cups. I eyeball this, trying to make them as even as possible. Each muffin cup will have 2-3 tablespoons of veggies and cheese.<\/p>\n<p>Pour about 1\/3 cup of the egg and cottage cheese mixture on top of the veggies and cheese in each muffin cup. I like to start with less and then go back to make sure they are pretty even. Each cup should be 3\/4 full or a tiny bit more.<\/p>\n<p>Use a toothpick to stir the veggies and cheese a bit. This does not affect the flavor, but it helps bring them to the top as the egg muffins bake, which makes for a pretty muffin cup.<\/p>\n<p>Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the muffins are set and cooked through the center. They will puff up when cooking and then deflate as they cool.<\/p>\n<p>Cool for 12-15 minutes. Run a knife along the side of each muffin, remove, and enjoy!<\/p>\n<p>Nutritional Information:<br \/>\nServing: 2egg bites | Calories: 125kcal | Carbohydrates: 2g | Protein: 13g | Fat: 7g | Saturated Fat: 3g | Polyunsaturated Fat: 1g | Monounsaturated Fat: 2g | Trans Fat: 0.02g | Cholesterol: 224mg | Sodium: 302mg | Potassium: 147mg | Fiber: 0.2g | Sugar: 1g | Vitamin A: 824IU | Vitamin C: 1mg | Calcium: 87mg | Iron: 1mg<\/p>\n<p>#cottagecheeseggbites #easybreakfastrecipes #proteinbreakfast<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Date: 2025-05-09 15:58:44 Ditch the Starbucks drive-through and make these quick-baked grab-n-go egg bites with cottage cheese instead!
