- 8 eggs
- ¾ cup cottage cheese
- ⅓ cup plain greek yogurt
- 1 tsp salt
- 4 strips bacon
- ½ cup gruyere cheese or aged asiago
Preheat oven to 325F. Spray a silicone muffin tray with non stick cooking spray. Place a baking sheet (approx 16x12" and something with high enough edges) under the silicone muffin tray and set aside.
Using a non stick frying pan, cook the bacon until crisp over medium heat. Transfer to a paper towel and break into little pieces once cooled.
In a high power blender, add the eggs, cottage cheese, greek yogurt, and salt. Blend on high for 30-40 seconds.
Pour the egg mixture into the 12 silicone cups, then top with grated cheese and bacon. Mix the bacon and cheese around so it's not all floating to the top.
Place the baking sheet & silicone tray in the oven and add water to baking sheet till it's about halfway full.
Bake the eggs on the baking sheet filled with water for 25-30 minutes. CAREFULLY remove from oven (I grabbed the silicone tray with oven mitts and left the baking sheet to cool) and use a knife to cut around the outsides of the egg bites to loosen them from the tray.
Close your eyes, pretend you're at Starbucks, and enjoy them while they're warm for a fraction of the price!
