Bacon Egg Bites
My husband is very lazy, sorry babe. And he will not eat all day just so he doesn’t have to cook. He’s a grab a coffee and head off to work kinda guy. So, I make these super easy egg bites and put them in a canteen, so they are nice and warm for him when he is ready to have something to eat in the morning.
Ingredients
Package of bacon
12 eggs
1/2 cup cottage cheese
1 cup shredded cheese (whatever kind you want)
1/2 tablespoon sea salt
1/2 tablespoon ground pepper
Optional: parmesan cheese (to your liking)
Directions
Pre-heat the oven to 300 degrees.
While it is pre-heating fill a small oven safe dish with about 1/2 cup hot water and place on the bottom rack of the oven.
This will make some steam to keep the egg bites from drying out.
In a pan cook the bacon.
I will take scissors and cut it up into small pieces. About 1-inch pieces.
While the bacon is cooking add the rest of the ingredients into a blender (or you can do a bowl with a hand emulsifier). Blend on high for about 20-30 seconds. You want it to be smooth!
When the bacon is done cooking set aside.
In a muffin pan (mine is a 12 muffin silicone pan) fill up each about 3/4 full.
If your pan is not silicone or non-stick grease the muffin tin with butter, ghee, tallow, or coconut oil.
Put in a bit of bacon into each and with a small utensil mix around.
If you want max flavor, I suggest not patting your bacon dry before putting into the egg mixture.
Put the egg bites into the oven and bake for 30-40 minutes.
Just start checking them at the 30-minute mark every 2 minutes to make sure they are cooked through and no longer jiggly.
When done remove them from the oven and let them rest for about 5 mins before removing from the tin.
You will most likely have more egg bite mixture so bake the rest with the above instructions.
Keep them in the fridge for up to 4 days.
