Cottage Cheese Protein Spinach Feta Egg Bites

These cottage cheese protein spinach feta egg bites are one of my favorite things to make when I want something easy for the week ahead.

They are soft, light, and full of flavor, and they come together with just a few simple steps.

The cottage cheese is the real secret here. When you blend it into the eggs, it makes the bites extra smooth and creamy without adding any heavy taste.

They are also high in protein, so one or two of these will actually keep you full for a good while.

I like to make a batch on Sunday and grab a couple each morning during the week. Simple, tasty, and no fuss.

The Ingredients

• 6 Large Eggs
• 1 cup Liquid Egg Whites
• 1 1/2 cups Low-Fat Cottage Cheese
• 1/2 cup Crumbled Feta Cheese
• 1 cup Chopped Baby Spinach

How to Make This Recipe

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325 F and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin pan with olive oil.

Step 2

Blend the eggs, egg whites, cottage cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper for 30 seconds, until smooth and lightly foamy.

Step 3

Divide the spinach, roasted red pepper, and feta among the muffin cups.

Step 4

Pour the blended egg mixture evenly into the cups, filling each one about three-quarters full.

Step 5

Place the muffin pan inside a larger roasting pan and pour hot water into the roasting pan until it reaches halfway up the muffin pan.

Step 6

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the egg bites are puffed and just set in the centers.

Step 7

Cool them in the pan for 10 minutes before removing and serving.

Quick Tips

Dry the Vegetables Well

Press the spinach and roasted red pepper between paper towels before adding them to the muffin cups. Extra moisture can make the bottoms of the egg bites watery.

If your roasted peppers come from a jar, let them drain for several minutes first. Chop both vegetables into small pieces so they stay evenly mixed through each bite.

Blend Until Completely Smooth

Blend the eggs, egg whites, and cottage cheese for the full 30 seconds. The cottage cheese curds should disappear and the mixture should look smooth with a thin layer of foam.

This creates a soft, even texture instead of leaving small curds throughout the egg bites. It also helps these protein-rich bites stay light rather than dense.

Grease Every Part of the Pan

Brush the olive oil across the bottoms and all the way up the sides of each muffin cup. Pay extra attention to the upper edges because the egg bites puff as they bake.

A light-colored nonstick metal pan works especially well here. Dark pans heat faster and can make the edges firm before the centers are ready.

Quick Answers

Why should I bake these egg bites in a water bath?

The water bath helps the egg bites cook gently and evenly, which keeps them soft and creamy instead of rubbery or dry.

Use hot water and pour it into the larger pan after placing the muffin pan inside. Be careful when moving the pans in and out of the oven.
