Cooking spray or oil for greasing the baking tin
# Guide to Cooking:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 163°C. Grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or lightly oil each cup to prevent sticking.
02 -
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and whisk until fully combined and slightly frothy.
03 -
Add the cottage cheese to the eggs and mix thoroughly to achieve a creamy consistency.
04 -
Stir in shredded cheese, salt, black pepper, and optional garlic and onion powders until evenly integrated.
05 -
Gently fold the finely chopped vegetables into the egg mixture, ensuring uniform distribution.
06 -
Pour the mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 75% full. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until set and slightly puffed. Test doneness with a toothpick—it should come out clean.
07 -
Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes. Gently release the egg bites using a silicone spatula if necessary. Serve warm or cool completely before storing in an airtight container refrigerated.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
For even cooking, ensure vegetables are finely chopped. Use a toothpick to check doneness; it should emerge clean when ready.
