½ cup diced vegetables (bell peppers, spinach, mushrooms)
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
Fresh herbs like chives or parsley (optional)

Method: How to Make Cottage Cheese Egg Bites

Step 1: Preheat Oven

Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease a muffin tin with butter or non-stick spray.

In a mixing bowl, whisk eggs, cottage cheese, and milk until smooth. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 3: Add Cheese and Vegetables

Fold in shredded cheese, diced vegetables, and cooked meat if using. Add fresh herbs for extra flavor.

Step 4: Pour Into Muffin Tin

Divide the mixture evenly into 6–8 muffin cups. Fill each about ¾ full to allow for puffing.
