Copy Cat Bacon Gruyère Egg Bites 🍳
These are SO good 🤩
Ingredients
• 12 eggs
• 1 cup shredded gruyere
• 1/2 cup cottage cheese (I used 2%)
• 12 slices of thick bacon, cooked and chopped
• salt & pepper, to taste
• cooking
Instructions
1. Cook the bacon before-hand. I personally like to cook mine on a wire rack in the oven to get it super crispy and drain all the grease. Chop up the bacon.
2. Pre-heat oven to 300 degrees F and place a baking dish that is filled with 1 inch of water on the bottom rack. This will create a humid environment and help the eggs cook evenly.
3. Add the eggs, cheese, cottage cheese, salt, and pepper to a blender and blend on high for 20-30 seconds, until light and frothy.
4. Spray a muffin tin with a little non-stick spray and fill the tins almost all the way to the top with the egg mixture.
5. Divide the chopped bacon equally among all of the muffin tins and bake in the oven for 30 minutes, or until the center of the egg bites are just set.
6. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes, then use a spatula or fork to carefully remove them from the muffin tin.
7. Store the egg bites in the fridge for several days. Reheat in the microwave or & warm in the oven.

Bacon Gruyère Egg Bites are a delicious and nutritious breakfast option packed with protein and flavor. To achieve the perfect texture, blending the eggs with cottage cheese creates a light and airy mixture. Using a water bath while baking ensures even cooking, preventing the egg bites from drying out. These egg bites not only make a great breakfast choice, but they can also be stored in the fridge and reheated throughout the week, making them ideal for meal prepping. Feel free to customize the recipe by adding vegetables like spinach or bell peppers, or substituting the cheese with your favorite varieties. They are incredibly versatile, catering to different dietary preferences, and can be made gluten-free as well. Enjoy these egg bites on their own or paired with a fresh salad or toast for a complete meal. For a fun twist, serve them with a side of salsa or avocado for added creaminess. Eating homemade egg bites allows you to control the ingredients and indulge in a healthier breakfast without compromising on taste.
