protein and very good to have on hand for a quick <em>on-the-go<\/em> breakfast.\u00a0 The base of this recipe is quite simple and once you know the base, you can then add different ingredients to suit your taste.\u00a0 I added spinach, sundried tomatoes, a pinch of bacon and of course, fresh basil.<\/p>\n<p>The base ingredients for this recipe are simply eggs, cottage cheese, cheese and spices which are blended together.\u00a0 Broccoli, red pepper, mushroom, and onion is another great combination that can be added to the base.\u00a0 Try different combos each time you make these egg bites.\u00a0 You can also use only egg whites if you want a lower fat version.<\/p>\n<p>Paper Chef parchment baking cups are the best.\u00a0 Nothing sticks to them!\u00a0 I use these for muffins also and when you peel them off the muffin, you get ALL the muffin!\u00a0 I use these for the egg bites as well.\u00a0 If you grease a muffin tin and bake the eggs in them, often a lot of the egg sticks to the pan.\u00a0 A silicon muffin pan or these baking cups work well.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-11330\"

the egg base, pour mixture in the the paper cups for baking.\u00a0 This recipe makes 12 egg bites.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-11334\"

the oven under the muffin pan to help steam the eggs, so I thought I&#8217;d try that.\u00a0 It worked really well.\u00a0 <strong><em>Make sure the pan of water is totally cooled before removing from the oven.<\/em><\/strong> Having said that, the water is not necessary, you can still bake these eggs without the tray of water.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter
