Egg Bites

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a nonstick muffin tin with olive oil.

Step 2

In a blender, place the eggs, cottage cheese, salt, and several grinds of pepper. Blend until smooth.

Step 3

Place the spinach in a steamer basket and set over a pot filled with 1 inch of water. Bring the water to a simmer, cover, and steam for 1 minute, or until the spinach is wilted. Transfer to a strainer and squeeze out the excess water. Roughly chop.

Step 4

Place the spinach in a medium bowl and add the peppers and scallions. Toss to combine and measure ¼ cup of the mixed vegetables. Set aside.

Step 5

Evenly divide the remaining veggies among the muffin cups. Pour a scant ¼ cup of the egg mixture over the vegetables in each well. Divide any remaining egg mixture evenly among the wells. Evenly sprinkle the reserved ¼ cup vegetables on top.

Step 6

Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the eggs are set. Let cool for 5 minutes before removing from the pan.
