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
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- ½ cup low fat cottage cheese
- ¼ - ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup broccoli, softened, roughly chopped
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon cracked black pepper
Equipment
- 1 non-stick cupcake or muffin tray
- 1 large mixing bowl
- 1 blender
Instructions
- 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.
