High Protein Cottage Cheese Egg Bites (25 Grams per serving!)
Ladies, are you struggling to feel your best? Do you feel like the standard American diet isn't cutting it for you or your children? It’s like you wake up and you have the choices of (pesticide covered) Cheerios, Thomas Bagels or simply just coffee.
No wonder we are bloated, tired as heck and feel like crap. We aren’t giving our bodies the nutrients it needs for energy production and optimal cellular functioning. When we settle for a quick processed breakfast, with little protein, it leaves our blood sugar to go cray-cray and us feeling like we are running on E all day.

(those days when we are too cozy and wake up late…yea, we’ve all been there). But that's why I'm sharing this game-changer recipe with you today: High Protein Cottage Cheese Egg Bites! You can prepare them ahead of time and quickly heat them up when it’s go time in the morning.

You can batch make these little bites of goodness and voila! You have a ready-to-go, high-protein breakfast for the entire week.

High-Protein Egg Bites Recipe (Makes 6 servings)
Ingredients:
10 large organic eggs (about 6 grams of protein each) Thankfully my mom has her own chickens so we get stocked up on backyard eggs every 2 weeks! But I recommend getting some from a local farmers market since they have higher nutrient content. OR you can even try duck eggs here to switch it up!)
1 cup organic Good Culture cottage cheese (MY ALL TIME FAV COTTAGE CHEESE!)
1 cup cooked and diced meat (turkey bacon, ham or chicken from local pasture-raised animals are the best!)
1/2 cup diced organic bell peppers
1/4 cup diced organic spinach or kale
1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin or silicone egg bite molds with a bit of oil to prevent sticking.
Whisk the eggs and cottage cheese together in a large bowl until well combined. The mixture should be relatively smooth with small bits of cottage cheese throughout.
Cook the veggies: Heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add a teaspoon of olive oil, then sauté the onions, bell peppers, and spinach (or kale) until they're just softened. Let them cool for a few minutes before adding them to the egg mixture.
Add the cooked meat to the egg and cottage cheese mixture, followed by the cooked veggies. Stir in the garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix everything until well combined.
Divide the mixture evenly among the prepared muffin cups or silicone muffin cup molds. Fill each one about 3/4 of the way to allow room for the egg bites to rise.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the egg bites are set and lightly golden on top. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
Let cool for a few minutes in the pan/molds, then run a knife around the edges and remove the egg bites. Serve warm.
Nutritional Information:
This recipe should yield about 6 egg bites, depending on the size of your muffin cups or molds. To hit the target of 25-30 grams of protein per serving, you can adjust the serving size. Based on the ingredients, two to three egg bites should provide approximately 30 grams of protein, depending on the specific meat used and the size of the eggs.
Feel free to customize this recipe with different veggies or spices according to your taste preferences. Enjoy your nutritious and delicious high-protein egg bites!
