Instructions
 

  • Puree the two eggs and cottage cheese in a blender.
  • Fill each greased 1-cup glass bowl with shredded cheese and bacon. Pour the egg mixture evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full. The mixture should make 2 egg bites. Season with salt and pepper.
    Spray a small microwave-safe bowl and add bacon and shredded cheese to the bottom.
  • Once your mixture is ready, place the bowl or mug in the microwave and cook on high for one minute. After the first minute, stir the mixture to ensure even cooking, and then microwave for an additional 30-60 seconds, depending on your microwave’s power and your desired doneness. The egg bites should be firm but still moist.
    Pour the cottage cheese and egg mixture over the bacon and cheese. Season with salt and black pepper to your taste.
  • Once done, carefully remove the bowl from the microwave, as it will be hot. Let the egg bites cool for a minute before enjoying them straight from the bowl or, for a more portable option, let them cool slightly and remove them from the bowl to wrap in a napkin or place in a container.

Notes

  • Refrigeration: Store the cooled muffins in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds before eating.
  • Freezing: For longer storage, freeze the muffins in a single layer on a baking sheet. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. To reheat, microwave frozen muffins for about 1-2 minutes, or until heated through.
