Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Coat a standard 12-cup muffin pan generously with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Place a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the bacon to the skillet. Cook the bacon for 6 to 8 minutes, turning occasionally, until crisp.
  • Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate. Let the bacon cool slightly.
  • Chop the bacon into small pieces.
  • Add the eggs, cottage cheese, maple syrup, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to a blender.
  • Blend for 20 to 30 seconds, or until smooth.
  • Divide the bacon and green onions evenly among the prepared muffin cups.
  • Sprinkle the cheddar cheese evenly over the bacon and green onions.
  • Pour the egg mixture into each muffin cup until approximately ¾ full.
  • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the centers are set.
  • Let the egg bites cool in the pan for 5 minutes.
  • Run a knife around the edge of each egg bite. Carefully remove the egg bites from the pan.

Notes

Tips and Tricks

Grease the pan well - Coat the bottom and sides of every muffin cup to help the egg bites release cleanly.
Expect slight sinking - The egg bites will puff in the oven and settle as they cool. This is normal.
Use a silicone muffin pan carefully - Place it on a baking sheet before filling so it stays level while moving it to the oven.

Storing and Reheating

Store in the refrigerator - Place the cooled egg bites in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 4 days.
Freeze for later - Wrap the cooled egg bites individually and place them in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months.
Reheat in the microwave - Place two refrigerated egg bites on a microwave-safe plate and heat in short intervals until warm.
Reheat from frozen - Thaw the egg bites in the refrigerator overnight before reheating for the most even texture.
