Broccoli Cheddar Blender Egg Bites
These broccoli cheddar blender egg bites are the perfect breakfast recipe. Like the zucchini egg bites, these are made from four simple ingredients and jam packed with protein. The texture is smooth and creamy just like Starbucks egg bites. Enjoy them on a bagel, English muffin or as is. No matter what, you’re going to love this easy breakfast recipe.
How to Make Broccoli Cheddar Blender Egg Bites
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Spray a cupcake or muffin tray with non-stick baking spray.
Add the eggs, cottage cheese, salt and pepper into a blender. Quickly blend until the cottage cheese is well combined. Pour the mixture into a large mixing bowl.
Steam or microwave the broccoli until its softened.
Once the broccoli is cool to the touch, roughly chop it.
Add the chopped broccoli and shredded cheddar cheese into the egg mixture. Mix well.
Using a measuring cup, portion the mixture into the cupcake tray.
Carefully, place the filled cupcake tray onto a larger baking tray. Pour water on the baking tray so the cupcake tray is surrounded by water. Be careful to NOT get water in the eggs or overflow the baking tray. Adding water to the baking tray creates a water bath that allows the egg bites to cook evenly and slowly in the oven. This method is what makes the egg bites smooth and creamy.
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until cooked through.
Storage
Store leftover egg bites covered in an airtight container in the refrigerator for three to four days. Reheat egg bites in the microwave for 20-30 seconds before enjoying. Freeze egg bites in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two months. Thaw egg bites in the frig overnight.

We’ve made these this way, with zucchini,and with some sausage. I don’t know which is my favorite. They’re all so good and made the first week back to school that much easier. I love your meal prep recipes!
Hi do you think you could substitute Greek yogurt for the cottage cheese?
i’m not sure.. I havent tested it.
Made for my daughter who is a protein eater and they were a hit! Used ham and cheese and they were perfect, thank you for another great egg recipe!
Great recipe. Easy enough for me to follow! I added a couple shakes of good Mexican hot sauce which I hope will add some zest. I might try this again with a bit of chopped red pepper!
