Ingredients

Scale
  • Base Mixture:
    • 6 large eggs (preferably organic)
    • ¼ cup cottage cheese
    • ¼ cup heavy cream
    • ¼ cup shredded Gruyere cheese
    • ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese
    • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
    • ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional Mix-Ins (Choose 2-3):
    • 2 strips cooked bacon, crumbled
    • ¼ cup sautéed spinach (well-drained)
    • 2 tablespoons diced red bell pepper
    • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives

Instructions

  1. Preparation: Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Lightly spray silicone egg bite mold or muffin tin with cooking spray. Boil water for the water bath.
  2. Create the Base Mixture: In a blender, combine eggs, cottage cheese, and heavy cream. Blend on high for 30 seconds until smooth. Add salt and pepper; pulse briefly. Pour into a measuring cup for easy pouring.
  3. Assembly: Distribute chosen mix-ins evenly among mold cavities. Pour egg mixture over fillings, leaving ¼ inch of space. Top with Gruyere and cheddar cheeses.
  4. Baking: Place mold in a large baking dish. Pour hot water into the dish until halfway up the mold. Cover with foil and bake for 30-35 minutes until set but slightly jiggly. Let cool for 5 minutes before removing.

Notes

Store in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for 2 months. Reheat in the microwave: 30 seconds (refrigerated) or 1-2 minutes (frozen). For perfect texture, blend base mixture thoroughly and use a hot water bath for even cooking.
