Equipment

muffin pan

Ingredients

6 eggs
1 cup cottage cheese
½ cup egg whites
½ cup mozzarella cheese shredded
3 tablespoons chia seeds
¼ teaspoon black pepper
½ cup diced red peppers
½ cup chopped broccoli diced small
¾ cup diced chicken sausage, precooked I used 6 links of Amylu breakfast chicken sausage

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325℉. If using a metal muffin tin, spray well with cooking spray. If using a silicone muffin tin, no need to grease or spray.
Combine eggs, cottage cheese, egg whites*, shredded cheese, chia seeds, and a pinch of black pepper in a blender or large bowl. Blend in a blender or use an immersion blender in a bowl until the mixture is smooth.
Add the red pepper, broccoli, and diced sausage to the mixture and stir to combine.
Pour egg mixture into the muffin wells, filling each about ¾ of the way full.
Bake egg bites for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the tops are fully set. Let them sit in the muffin tin for a few minutes before removing and serving, or let them cool and store for a meal-prep breakfast.

Notes

*If you're not using egg whites, use 8 eggs for the correct volume instead of 6.

Nutrition calculations are made using 6 Amylu chicken breakfast sausage and full-fat Daisy cottage cheese.

To store for meal prep: Let the egg bites cool, then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat on a microwave-safe plate, microwaving in 30-second intervals until warmed through.

PRO TIP

I've been making these in a silicone muffin pan, and I will never go back to metal! They pop right out and clean up completely with one run through the dishwasher. See post for my recommendations!
