For the Egg bite base
- Combine the eggs, first 1/2 cup of shredded cheese, cottage cheese * and salt and pepper and chili flakes (if using) in a blender and blend to combine for 20 seconds until frothy
For the fillings
- Spray the inside of the muffin cups with non stick spray

- Place in preheated oven for 15 minutes or until the center of the egg bites is just set (they won't jiggle), and the tops have begun to brown. They will puff up, but will fall once they come out of the oven
- Once done, remove from oven to cool for 5 minutes before removing them from the tray. Let them cool completely if you intend on freezing them.
Notes
These are easy and delicious, if you don't want meat in them feel free to customize them to your dietary needs and tastes. Any meat/veggie combo will work. Just pre cook your meat and veggies a bit to make sure they're cooked as the egg bites only take a short time in the oven, not long enough to cook vegetables or meat.
Feel free to use any shredded cheese you like. Cheddar and Gruyere or swiss cheese are my favorites are they are full of flavor.
