High Protein Egg Bites
These high protein egg bites, also known as, egg cups are the perfect way to jumpstart your metabolism! They will also keep you feeling full and satisfied all morning long. On their own, they are only 185 calories and 15 g of protein per serving. To add even more protein in this breakfast, I recommend adding 2 turkey breakfast sausage and a slice of sourdough toast. That will give you ~13-15 g of extra protein.
Ingredients
- 8 Eggs
- 1 Cup Cottage cheese 1%
- 1 Cup Broccoli finely chopped
- 1/4 tsp Ground black pepper
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 3/4 Cup Cheddar cheese shredded
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Spray your muffin tray with non-stick spray.
- Chop your broccoli into fine pieces and set aside.
- Crack your eggs into the blender.
- Add cottage cheese, salt and pepper into the blender.
- Pulse the blender for a 30-60 second or until the egg mixture is smooth (don’t over mix or they will get tough).
- Pour the cottage cheese egg mix into 12 muffin cups, only fill about 70% of the way.
- Add broccoli to each muffin up, press down with the back of a spoon to sink the broccoli in a bit.
- Sprinkle each muffin cup with 1 TBSP of shredded cheddar cheese.
- Bake for 20-22 minutes or until the eggs puff up and feel firm to touch in the center.
- Remove the egg cups from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes before removing from the pan.
- Serve immediately or store for later. If storing for later cool COMPLETELY before refrigerating or they will get soggy.
