Why You’ll Love This Cottage Cheese Egg Bites Recipe

Cottage Cheese Egg Bites are one of those recipes you make once and immediately wonder why you didn’t try sooner. They are protein-packed and low in carbs, and the prep is a breeze. No need for fancy tools—just a blender and a muffin tin. They’re great for keto or low-carb lifestyles, and even picky eaters love the soft, cheesy flavor.

Plus, they freeze beautifully, so you can always have a batch ready to grab and go. These little bites also work as a high-protein snack or post-workout bite.

What Kind of Cottage Cheese Should I Use?

Go for full-fat cottage cheese if you’re aiming for ultra creamy egg bites with maximum richness. Low-fat cottage cheese also works well and is ideal if you’re trying to cut calories, though it may slightly change the texture. Whipped cottage cheese blends easiest and gives you a smoother bite, but any regular small-curd variety will do just fine if you’re using a blender.

Ingredients for the Cottage Cheese Egg Bites

The ingredients for these egg bites are simple, but each one plays an important role in creating that fluffy, creamy texture that everyone loves.

• Eggs
• Cottage Cheese
• Shredded Cheese
• Salt
• Black Pepper
• Optional Add-ins (chopped spinach, cooked bacon, bell pepper, herbs)

Eggs are the base of the bites and give them their structure and protein power.

Cottage Cheese brings in creaminess and extra protein, blending into the eggs to create a light and silky texture.

Shredded Cheese like cheddar, mozzarella, or Swiss adds more flavor and melty goodness to the bites.

Salt and Black Pepper keep the flavor balanced and savory.

Optional Add-ins are your chance to customize. Add veggies, meats, or herbs to suit your taste and turn these bites into mini flavor bombs.

How To Make the Cottage Cheese Egg Bites

Step 1: Blend the Base

In a blender, combine the eggs, cottage cheese, shredded cheese, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy. This step is key for the fluffiest texture.

Step 2: Preheat and Prep

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a muffin tin or use silicone muffin liners for easy removal.

Step 3: Add Fillings

Pour the blended egg mixture into the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. If you’re adding optional ingredients like spinach or bacon, place them in the cups before pouring in the egg mixture so they stay evenly distributed.

Step 4: Bake to Perfection

Bake for 22 to 25 minutes, or until the centers are set and the tops are lightly golden. Let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before removing.

Step 5: Serve or Store

Serve immediately, or let cool completely before storing in an airtight container in the fridge.

How to Store and Serve Cottage Cheese Egg Bites

These egg bites are just as tasty the next day, making them perfect for make-ahead breakfasts. Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. You can also freeze them—just wrap individually and pop into a freezer-safe bag. Reheat in the microwave for about 30 seconds if refrigerated, or 60 to 90 seconds from frozen.

This recipe makes about 12 egg bites, feeding 4 to 6 people depending on how hungry everyone is.
