Egg Bites by All recipes

 Ingredients:

1 T extra-virgin olive oil, or as needed

8 large eggs

1 cup full fat cottage cheese

1 cup shredded Gruyere cheese

1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

1/4 teaspoon hot sauce (optional)

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

3 strips bacon, cooked and chopped

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 325. Coat a 12 cup silicone muffin pan with olive oil

Combine eggs, cottage cheese, 3/4 cup gruyere, Monterey Jack cheese, hot sauce, salt and pepper in a blender and blend at medium speed until smooth, about 30 seconds.

Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil.

Placed the muffin pan in a large, high rimmed baking pan ( like a jelly-roll pan). Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup gruyere cheese and bacon among the prepared cups. Then divide the egg mixture among the cups, filling them about 3/4 full.

Carefully pout boiling water into the rimmed pan (avoiding eggs, until water reaches halfway up the sides of the muffin pan. Carefully transfer to the oven and bake until eggs are just firm, about 24-30 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes before removing the bites from the pan.
