Step-by-Step Instructions for Cottage Cheese Egg Bites
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and generously spray a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking oil.
  2. Crack in 8 large eggs into a mixing bowl and whisk vigorously until frothy, about 2 minutes. Mix in salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
  3. Gently fold in the cottage cheese, shredded Colby Jack cheese, and bacon bits into the egg mixture.
  4. Carefully ladle the egg mixture into each muffin cup, filling them about three-quarters full.
  5. Position a shallow pan filled with hot water on the lower rack before placing your muffin tin in the oven.
  6. Bake the bites for 23–25 minutes until edges are set and centers are slightly jiggly.
  7. Let the egg bites cool in the muffin tin for 3–5 minutes before carefully removing them.
