Instructions

  • Put 6 Eggs, 250 g Fat free cottage cheese, 2 pinch Sea salt and 2 pinch Ground black pepper into a blender.
  • Blend until everything is combined.
  • Put a twelve hole silicone muffin tray onto a regular baking tray. Divide 12 Cherry tomatoes, 30 g Spinach, 6 Mushrooms and 3 Spring onions (Scallions) between a twelve hole silicone muffin tray.
  • Pour in the egg mixture. Sprinkle over 15 g Light mature cheddar (grated).
  • Put the trays into the oven and bake for 20 minutes.
  • Once cooked. allow to cool fully. Run a knife around the edge of each egg bite and carefully pop them out of the mould.

Notes

  • Use a silicone muffin tin if you can, as the egg bites are much easier to remove. If using a metal tin, grease it really well first to stop them sticking.
  • Chop the vegetables small so they cook quickly and distribute evenly through the bites.
  • Do not overfill the muffin holes, as the egg bites will puff up slightly while baking.
  • If your vegetables release a lot of water, the cottage cheese egg bites may be slightly softer. Cooking mushrooms first, patting tomatoes dry, or using a little less watery veg can help.
  • Let the egg bites cool for a few minutes before removing them from the tin. They will firm up as they cool and come out more easily.
