What Kind of Cheese Works Best in Egg Bites?

Cheese brings creaminess and richness to egg bites, and while cheddar is a classic choice, the options are endless. Gruyère adds a hint of nuttiness, mozzarella brings mild stretchiness, and goat cheese creates a tangy contrast. Pick one that matches your vibe—or mix a few together for deeper flavor.

Ingredients for the High Protein Egg Bites

Egg bites are made from simple, clean ingredients that deliver maximum flavor and nutrition. Here’s what you’ll need:

• Eggs
• Egg Whites
• Cottage Cheese
• Shredded Cheddar Cheese
• Spinach
• Red Bell Pepper
• Salt
• Black Pepper
• Cooking Spray

Each ingredient plays a key role. Eggs and egg whites are your protein-packed base. Cottage cheese adds creaminess and even more protein. Shredded cheddar cheese brings that melty texture and bold flavor. Fresh spinach and red bell pepper not only brighten the bites but add vitamins and color. A pinch of salt and black pepper keeps the flavor balanced, and cooking spray ensures easy removal.

How To Make the High Protein Egg Bites

Step 1: Prep the Oven and Muffin Tin

Preheat your oven to 350°F and lightly grease a muffin tin with cooking spray. This step helps ensure the egg bites release smoothly after baking.

Step 2: Blend the Base

In a blender, combine eggs, egg whites, and cottage cheese until the mixture is smooth. This gives your bites that signature fluffy texture.

Step 3: Mix in the Goodies

Pour the egg mixture into a bowl and stir in the chopped spinach, diced red bell pepper, shredded cheddar, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4: Fill and Bake

Divide the mixture evenly into the muffin tin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Bake for 22-25 minutes, or until the centers are set and the tops are lightly golden.

Step 5: Cool and Store

Let the egg bites cool for 5 minutes before removing them. You can enjoy them warm or let them cool completely for storage.

How to Serve and Store High Protein Egg Bites

These egg bites are best served warm, straight from the oven, but they’re just as satisfying reheated. To store, place them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. You can also freeze them individually and reheat in the microwave for 60-90 seconds when needed. This recipe makes about 12 bites, enough to serve 4-6 people depending on portions.
