Ingredients

6 large eggs
1 cup cottage cheese
3/4 cup Gruyere cheese shredded
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
salt and pepper to taste
1/3 cup bacon cooked and crumbled

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a muffin tray, or silicone baking mold (prefered) and set aside.
In a blender, combine all the ingredients except for the bacon. Blend until smooth.
Pour the blended mixture evenly into a muffin tray, filling each cup roughly 2/3 full.
Place the muffin tray inside a larger rimmed baking pan. Carefully pour boiling water into the larger pan, making sure to avoid spilling water into the muffin cups. Fill the larger pan until the water reaches halfway up the sides of the muffin tray.
Carefully transfer the entire setup (muffin tray inside the water-filled pan) to the oven. Bake for about 25 to 30 minutes, or until the eggs are just firm to the touch.
Let the egg bites cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before removing them. Use a knife to gently loosen the edges if needed. Enjoy!

Notes

Avoid Over-Whipping: Be gentle when mixing the eggs. Over-whipping can cause the eggs to become tough and fall, resulting in a less desirable texture.
Use a Water Bath: Bake the egg bites in a muffin tin placed in a water bath. This mimics the sous vide method, gently steaming the eggs so they turn out custardy and smooth.
Pair with Pancake Bites: For a perfect on-the-go meal, pair your egg bites with these delicious Chunky Monkey Pancake Bites. They complement each other beautifully and make a balanced, portable breakfast.
