Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 6 Large Eggs
  • 1 cup (225g) Full-Fat Cottage Cheese This is essential for the creamy texture.
  • 1/2 cup (60g) Shredded Monterey Jack Cheese
  • 1/2 tsp (3g) Salt
  • 1/4 tsp (1.5g) Black Pepper
  • 4 slices Thick-Cut Bacon Cooked until crispy and crumbled.
  • 1/2 cup (60g) Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese For topping.
  • 1 tbsp (4g) Fresh Chives Finely chopped, for garnish.
  • Non-Stick Cooking Spray

Equipment

  • 1 High-speed blender
  • 1 Silicone Egg Bite Mold
  • 1 9x13 inch baking pan

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Place your silicone egg bite mold inside a 9x13 inch baking pan. Cook the bacon in a skillet until crispy, then crumble into small pieces.
  2. In a high-speed blender, combine the eggs, cottage cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, salt, and pepper. Blend on high for 30-45 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and frothy.
  3. Grease the wells of the silicone mold with non-stick spray. Divide the crumbled bacon evenly among the wells. Pour the blended egg mixture over the bacon, filling each well about three-quarters full.
  4. Sprinkle the shredded sharp cheddar cheese over the top of each bite. Carefully pour hot water into the baking pan around the mold, until the water level is about halfway up the sides of the mold.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the centers are just set and the edges are lightly golden-brown. For more browning, broil for 60-90 seconds at the end, watching carefully.
  6. Let the egg bites cool in the mold for 5 minutes before removing. Garnish with freshly chopped chives and serve warm.

Notes

Don't Skip the Blend: A blender is the only way to break down the cottage cheese for that signature smooth, velvety texture.
The Water Bath is Crucial: The steam from the water bath is what keeps them custardy and moist.
Let Them Rest: Allowing the egg bites to cool for a few minutes before de-molding is essential so they pop out cleanly.
Full-Fat is Best: For the creamiest, richest flavor, use full-fat cottage cheese and Monterey Jack cheese.
