Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a standard 12-cup muffin pan generously with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Place a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the turkey sausage and onion. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes, breaking the sausage into small pieces, until the sausage is browned and fully cooked.
  • Add the diced apple and sage. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apple begins to soften.
  • Remove the skillet from the heat.
  • Add the eggs, cottage cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to a blender.
  • Blend for 20 to 30 seconds, or until smooth.
  • Divide the sausage and apple mixture evenly among the prepared muffin cups.
  • Sprinkle the cheddar cheese evenly over the sausage mixture.
  • Pour the egg mixture into the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
  • Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the centers are set.
  • Cool the egg bites 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

Serving Size: 2 Egg Bites

Tips and Tricks

Dice the apple finely - Small pieces soften quickly and spread more evenly through the egg bites.
Grease the pan well - Egg mixtures made with cheese can cling around the edges and bottom.
Watch the final minutes - Remove the egg bites once the centers have set. Baking them too long can make them firm.
Leave a little room - Keep each muffin cup about ¾ full so the egg mixture has space to rise.

Storing and Reheating

Refrigerator - Store the cooled egg bites in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
Freezer - Freeze the cooled egg bites in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months.
Microwave - Reheat refrigerated egg bites in short intervals until warmed through.
From frozen - Thaw the egg bites overnight in the refrigerator before reheating for more even results.
