3. Instructions
5 StepsPreheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a blender, combine the eggs, cottage cheese, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Blend on high for 30 seconds until aerated and silky.
Finely chop the fresh baby spinach and pat dry with a paper towel so no extra moisture enters the egg batter.
Generously spray a silicone muffin pan with olive oil spray. Divide the chopped spinach and shredded cheddar cheese across the muffin cups.
Pour the blended egg and cottage cheese batter over the spinach and cheese, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20 to 22 minutes until the egg bites are puffed, set in the center, and lightly golden on top. Cool 5 minutes before popping out.
