Jennifer Garner Instagram – I’m all for treats, especially…well, every day. But, IF the sugar has piled up in your veins, or IF your New Year’s resolutions include starting your morning with protein—here is a just right, super easy, make ahead breakfast (or snacky snack). Yes, these are inspired by Mr. Big Coffee; the recipe is from @lovelydelites.
Egg Bites by @lovelydelites
Ingredients:
– 3 cups egg whites (I used half eggs/half whites)
– 1 cup cottage cheese
– 1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
– Salt pepper to taste
– ¼ cup diced roasted or raw red bell pepper
– ¼ cup finely chopped spinach
– Boiling hot water
– Cooking spray
.
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350℉ and prepare a silicone muffin mold by generously coating it with non-stick spray.
2. Finely chop the roasted or raw red bell pepper and spinach. (Good spot to include bacon, ham, etc). Set aside.
3. I used a hand mixer (😘 @kitchenaidusa), but a blender also works (😘 @kitchenaidusa) — to mix eggs, cottage cheese and mozzarella cheese for 60 seconds. You want to add in air. Bubbles are your friend!
4. Divide veggies/ goodies between muffin wells, then fill each one with the egg mixture about ¾ of the way full and sprinkle with salt and pepper. I also sprinkled Parmesan cheese on top—but I like shredded cheddar or mozzarella even more.
5. Place your filled muffin tin onto a baking sheet in the middle rack of your 350 degree oven. Fill the baking sheet with boiling water about ½ of the way up the liners, then bake for about 30-35 minutes or until the tops are firm the touch.
6. The dicey very important step—switch your oven to broil and watch 👀 closely for two minutes or until the tops of your egg bites are crunchy brown.
7. Remove from the oven. Let cool for a couple of minutes before removing from the mold and enjoy warm!
8. Yum. | Posted on 30/Dec/2024 07:04:52
