Equipment

Ingredients

  • 6 eggs
  • 9 tablespoon egg whites
  • 1 cup cottage cheese preferably low-fat
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese
  • 1 ounce kale finely chopped
  • 2 ounces mushrooms thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon salt and black pepper

Instructions

  • Start by sautéing the kale and mushrooms in a large skillet. Heat about 1 tablespoon of olive oil or your preferred cooking oil in a sauté pan on medium heat. Add the kale and mushrooms and cook till soft and tender, about 7-10 minutes.
  • While the mushroom kale mixture is cooking, prepare the egg bites base. Add the large eggs, egg whites, cottage cheese, mozzarella cheese and seasonings to a blender or food processor. Blend till smooth.
  • Place the muffin tray on a baking sheet to prevent the contents from spilling as you transfer it to the oven. Then spray the silicone muffin mold with cooking spray and evenly pour egg mixture into each cup.
  • When kale mixture is done cooking, evenly divide it and spoon it into each muffin cup. Gently give it a stir to incorporate the veggie mixture into the eggs. 
  • Carefully transfer filled molds to the oven and bake on a low 300 degrees f for 38-40 minutes. The egg cups will have risen just a bit and should be slightly browned on top, and cooked through in the middle. 

Notes

To freeze egg bites for a delicious breakfast anytime you need something fast and easy. Simply wrap up individual egg bites in plastic wrap and place in a freezer proof sealable bag. Freeze for up to 3 months.
To reheat, remove from the plastic wrap and wrap in a paper towel. Reheat on medium power for 30 seconds. Then reheat on high power for an additional 45-60 seconds, until heated through.
