Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray a 12-slot muffin tin with spray oil.
- In a blender, combine the eggs, cottage cheese, and salt. Blend until you achieve a smooth mixture.
- Cut each strip of bacon in half again, and place a half strip into each muffin slot.
- Sprinkle the shredded gruyere cheese over the bacon in each muffin slot.
- Pour the egg and cottage cheese mixture evenly into each muffin slot, filling them nearly to the top.
Baking
- Prepare a steam bath by placing a baking sheet on the bottom rack of the oven. Boil water on the stovetop and carefully pour the boiling water onto the baking sheet.
- Place the muffin tin on the middle rack of the oven. Remember to wear proper heat protective oven mitts!
- Close the oven and bake for 25 minutes.
Cooling and Serving
- After baking, carefully remove the muffin tin from the oven and turn off the heat, allowing the baking sheet to cool before taking it out.
- Let the egg bites cool slightly, then gently remove them from the muffin tin and enjoy!
Notes
Serve hot for the best flavor and texture, paired with fresh fruit or a salad. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat in the microwave for a quick breakfast.
