🧂 Ingredients

Extra-virgin olive oil

for greasing
3 cups fresh spinach

about 3 ounces
6 large eggs
½ cup diced roasted red bell pepper

about 1 pepper
½ cup chopped green onions

about 2 green onions
¾ cup whole milk cottage cheese
¼ teaspoon sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper

to taste

Instructions

1 Preheat your oven to 350°F and lightly coat a nonstick muffin tin with
extra-virgin olive oil to prevent sticking.
2 In a blender, combine the eggs, cottage cheese, sea salt, and a few grinds of
freshly cracked black pepper. Blend the mixture until completely smooth and
well-combined.
3 Meanwhile, place the spinach in a steamer basket over a pot with about an inch
of water. Bring the water to a gentle simmer, cover the pot, and let the spinach
steam for about a minute, or until it’s fully wilted. Remove the spinach, press
out the excess moisture using a strainer, and give it a rough chop.
4 In a bowl, toss together the chopped spinach, roasted red bell peppers, and
green onions. Set aside ¼ cup of this vegetable mixture to use as a garnish
later.
5 Evenly distribute the remaining vegetable mixture into the muffin tin cups. Pour
just under ¼ cup of the egg blend into each cup, covering the vegetables. If
there’s any egg mixture left, distribute it evenly between the wells. Lastly,
sprinkle the reserved ¼ cup of vegetables over the top of each filled cup.
6 Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the egg bites are set
and no longer jiggly in the center. Allow them to cool for about 5 minutes
before gently removing them from the pan.
