Cottage Cheese Egg Bites are a protein-packed and flavorful snack combining creamy plant-based cottage cheese, smoky turkey bacon, wholesome eggs, and melty plant-based cheese.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (plant-based)
  • 4 slices smoked turkey bacon
  • 1/2 cup plant-based cheese (e.g., cheddar-style or mozzarella)
  • 2 tablespoons chives or green onions, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Bacon: Cook the smoked turkey bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy yet tender, about 5 minutes. Chop into bite-sized pieces and set aside to cool.
  2. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, plant-based cottage cheese, and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce until smooth. Stir in the natural gelling agent carefully to help the bites hold their shape and achieve perfect tenderness.
  3. Add Flavorful Extras: Fold in the chopped smoked turkey bacon, plant-based cheese, and freshly chopped chives or green onions. Season with salt and pepper, ensuring each bite is flavorful and textured.
  4. Pour and Bake: Lightly grease a muffin tin and pour the mixture evenly into each cup. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until the egg bites have set and turn lightly golden on top.
  5. Cool and Enjoy: Let the Cottage Cheese Egg Bites cool slightly before removing from the muffin tin. Serve warm or at room temperature, ideal for meal prep or quick snacks.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs to blend the mixture better and ensure even baking.
  • Do not skip the natural gelling agent to achieve a tender, firm texture.
  • Fill muffin tins evenly using a measuring cup or scoop for consistent results.
  • Allow the bites to rest a few minutes before removing them from the tin to prevent breaking.
  • Customize the recipe by swapping ingredients based on preference or availability.
