Ingredients:

10 eggs
1 cup shredded gruyere, swiss, or cheddar
1/2 cup full fat cottage cheese or cream cheese
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
Couple cracks of fresh black pepper
4-5 slices of sugar free bacon

Instructions:

• Preheat your small oven to 400°F for crisping up the bacon.
• Line a baking tray with parchment paper and place your bacon slices on it. Set it aside while the oven preheats.
• Place the bacon in the preheated oven (about 400°F) and cook for 13-15 minutes, or until crispy.
• Once cooked, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease. Chop it into small pieces and set aside.
• In a separate large oven-safe dish, add some water (about 1-2 inches deep) and place it on the bottom rack of your oven. This will create a humid environment to gently cook the egg bites.
• Preheat your oven to 350°F for the egg bites.
• In a blender, crack 10 eggs and add 1 cup of grated cheddar cheese, ½ cup cottage cheese, a pinch of Celtic salt, and a few cracks of black pepper.
• Blend until the mixture is smooth and fluffy. You can also use a hand mixer if preferred.
• Use avocado oil spray to generously grease your muffin tin. Make sure the tin is non-stick or use a ceramic one for the best results.
• Pour the egg mixture into the muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full.
• Top each egg bite with the chopped bacon pieces (or sautéed mushrooms if you’re substituting).
• Carefully place the muffin tin in the oven, making sure it’s sitting over the water bath you set up earlier.
• Bake for about 25 minutes. The egg bites should puff up and be firm in the center. You can check by gently pressing on them—if they bounce back, they’re done.
• Let the egg bites cool for 5 minutes before removing them from the muffin tin.
• Use a knife to gently loosen the edges, and the egg bites should pop out easily.
• If you’re meal prepping, store the egg bites in an airtight container. They can be kept in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
