If you have been searching for a high-protein (12g) and low-carb (2g) breakfast that is actually satisfying and easy to make ahead, these are the best cottage cheese egg bites you will ever try. Fluffy, cheesy, packed with bacon, and loaded with protein, they are way better than anything you can order at the drive-through.

These egg bites have become a total staple in our house. The cottage cheese blends right into the egg mixture and creates the most incredibly soft, custardy texture while adding a serious protein boost. The secret to getting that perfectly fluffy bite is the pan of water on the lower oven rack; it creates just enough steam to keep them tender all the way through. Make a batch on Sunday, and breakfast is handled for the entire week.

Ingredients For Egg Bites

These egg bites are even better than the ones at Starbucks! They’re easily customizable and perfect for a quick, on-the-go breakfast. Here is what goes into this egg bite recipe:

• Bacon: Cooked and chopped, bacon adds a salty, smoky flavor throughout every bite.
• Eggs: The base of the entire recipe that provide structure, protein, and that classic egg bite texture.
• Full-Fat Cottage Cheese: The secret ingredient. It blends seamlessly into the egg mixture and creates an incredibly soft, fluffy, custardy texture while adding a significant protein boost.
• Protein Powder: A scoop of plain or vanilla adds even more protein without changing the flavor or texture in any noticeable way. It sounds crazy, but I swear it just works!
• Colby Jack Cheese: Melts into the egg mixture for a creamy, cheesy richness in every single bite.
• Kosher Salt: Seasons the eggs and brings all the other flavors together.
• Garlic Powder: Adds a subtle savory depth that makes these taste like way more than just a basic egg bite.
• Cooking Spray: Essential for keeping the egg bites from sticking so they pop right out of the muffin pan cleanly.

Everything here is simple, affordable, and easy to find, which makes these incredibly easy to keep in your regular rotation.
