Equipment

  • Chef's Knife
  • Blender
  • 2 Muffin Tins
  • 2 Large Sheet Pans with Deep Sides

Ingredients
  

Base Recipe

  • 12 count large eggs
  • 1 cup cottage cheese plain
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Mix-In Ideas

  • ¾ cup frozen hashbrowns
  • 7 ounces smoked sausage link diced
  • ½ cup spinach
  • ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes
  • shredded cheddar cheese for topping
  • hot water for the water bath

Instructions

  • Dice your smoked sausage link into small, even pieces.
  • Crack the eggs into a large blender cup.
  • Add the cottage cheese, salt, and pepper to the blender cup.
  • Blend well, for about 30 seconds, until light and fluffy. Set aside.
  • Preheat your oven to 325℉.
    Spray 2 muffin pans generously with cooking spray, and set the pans on top of 2 large sheet pans with deep sides.
  • Line the greased muffin cups with a layer of hashbrowns.
    Pour in the spinach and sun-dried tomatoes on top.
  • Pour the egg mixture on top of the veggies in each muffin cup.
    Fill them up to where you have about a ½ inch of room left.
  • Sprinkle the diced sausage on top, followed by a light amount of cheddar cheese.
  • Carefully pour hot water onto the sheet pan at the bottom of the muffin pan.
    This creates a water bath so we can steam the egg bites for maximum fluffiness.
  • Bake for 30 minutes on the lower oven rack.
    After that, if you prefer, broil the tops of the egg bites for a minute or two for a golden-brown cheesy crust.
  • Let cool for a few minutes, then serve and enjoy!

Notes

Freezing Instructions:
To freeze these, let them cool completely. Store in an airtight freezer bag. 
When you're ready to eat, let them sit out for a few minutes on the counter, then wrap with a damp paper towel and microwave until heated through.
