Ingredients
  

1 cup cottage cheese

4 large eggs

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/4 cup diced bell pepper (any color)

1/4 cup chopped spinach (fresh or frozen, thawed)

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon onion powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Cooking spray or olive oil (for greasing the muffin tin)

Optional toppings: chopped herbs (chives or parsley), diced tomatoes, or a sprinkle of paprika

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or a light coat of olive oil to prevent sticking.

    Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, shredded cheddar cheese, diced bell pepper, chopped spinach, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

      Fill Muffin Tin: Pour the egg mixture evenly into the greased muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full. If desired, sprinkle optional toppings such as chopped herbs or diced tomatoes on top of each cup for added flavor and vibration.

        Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the egg bites are puffy and set in the center. They should be golden on the edges.

          Cool and Serve: Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes. Use a knife to gently loosen the edges and transfer the egg bites to a serving platter. Serve warm or at room temperature.

            Storage: These egg bites keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave for 20-30 seconds before serving.
