How to Prepare

Start by preheating the oven to 325F.

Now, blend the eggs, salt, cottage cheese, and Gruyère cheese for 20-30 seconds.

⭐ Place a silicone muffin tin on a baking sheet and spray with non-stick spray.

Add the egg mixture 1/2 way in each muffin cup.

Carefully position the baking dish with the muffin pan on a lower oven rack. Fill the baking tray with boiling water up to halfway.

Bake without opening the oven for at least 25 minutes or up to 30 minutes. Monitor closely.

Allow them to rest for 5 minutes before enjoying.

Store in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months. Defrost in the fridge and reheat in the microwave if frozen. Enjoy!

Kitchen tip

The oven must be preheated, and the water must be boiling hot. Do not open the oven at all for at least 20 minutes so you can allow the eggs to steam and get creamy. Our oven is slow. Therefore, our egg bites took 30 minutes.
