Equipment

Ingredients

  • 4 cup broccoli florets
  • 6 eggs
  • 1 cup liquid egg whites
  • ½ cup cottage cheese
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar divided
  • ¼ cup parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp salt divided
  • 1 tsp garlic powder divided
  • ½ tsp pepper

Instructions

  • Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with avocado oil. Preheat oven to 350.
  • Add the broccoli florets to a pot and add ½ cup water. Cover, bring to a boil and steam for 3-5 minutes. Drain. Add ½ tsp salt to the broccoli and toss.
  • While the broccoli is steaming, add the eggs, egg whites, cottage cheese, ¼ cup cheddar, parmesan, remaining ½ tsp salt, garlic powder, and pepper to a blender. Blend for 15 seconds until just combined.
  • Chop the broccoli into smaller pieces and divide equally among the 12 cups.
  • Pour the egg mixture evenly into the 12 cups over the broccoli so it almost reaches the tops.
  • Top with the remaining ¼ cup cheddar.
  • Place the muffin pan on a baking sheet for easy transferring and bake for 20 minutes or until the tops of the egg bites are set. Let them cool for 10 minutes and enjoy!

Notes

How to freeze egg bites: Wrap fully cooled egg bites with plastic wrap or foil and place in a zip top bag and freeze for up to 1 month. 
To reheat keto egg bites, microwave for 1 minute and enjoy!
I like to use a non-toxic, non-stick muffin pan like this one so the eggs release easily and don't get stuck. You barely need to spray this one with oil and they pop out so easily!
If your eggs are puffed up right after coming out of the oven, this is normal! Don't worry. They will settle after a few minutes.
