Ingredients
- 8 egg whites
- ⅓ cup cottage cheese
- ¼ cup bacon bits
- 2 tablespoons green onion chopped
- ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese optional
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, separate the egg whites from the yolks. You can reserve the yolks for another use (like French toast or creme brûlée).
- Whisk in the cottage cheese, bacon bits, and green onion.
- In a well greased muffin pan, spoon in the batter.
- Sprinkle salt and pepper over the top along with the cheddar cheese, if using.
- Bake at 350°F for 25 minutes or until the eggs look set.
- The bites will puff at the end of the baking time but will deflate some as they cool. Allow them to cool before removing from the pan.
Notes
If you want to use the whole egg instead of only egg whites, you can use four eggs in place of the eight egg whites in this recipe.
