🥚 Use-What-Ya-Got Egg Bites (Keto-Friendly + Freezer Friendly!)

Y’all know I’m not a “follow the recipe perfectly” kind of girl. I’m more of a “what’s in the fridge and how fast can I get this done?” kind of cook. 😅
So if you’re looking for a quick, protein-packed, keto-friendly breakfast—or just something to clean out those leftovers—these egg bites are it.

💛 Why I Love These

✔️ Keto & low carb
✔️ Easy to meal prep
✔️ Totally customizable
✔️ Freezer-friendly (yes please!)
✔️ No fluff—just real food

🛒 What You’ll Need (Base Recipe):

• 8 eggs
• 1 cup cottage cheese (Good Culture, organic is my fav! Don’t be scared if you don’t love cottage cheese, I promise you won’t taste it!)
• 1 cup shredded Colby Jack (or cheddar, or mozzarella, or… whatever’s hanging out in your fridge)- want it cheesier- add more
• Sprinkle of pink Himalayan salt
• Cracked black pepper (optional)
• Butter or coconut oil to grease your muffin pan

🥓 Optional Add-Ins:

This is where the fun happens. I just use what I’ve got:

• Leftover bacon, sausage, or even ground beef (always pre-cooked)
• Chopped onions, peppers, broccoli, or spinach
• A little hot sauce if you're feeling spicy
• Fresh herbs if you’re fancy or shallots & avocado chunks on top after cooking 🌿

✅ Tip: Always cook your protein and most veggies ahead of time so they don’t water down your egg bites. This is where the "left over" part comes in- use what you have!

👩‍🍳 How to Make Them:

1. Preheat oven to 325℉.
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk your eggs.
3. Stir in cottage cheese, shredded cheese, seasonings, and all your extra goodies.
4. Grease a 12-cup muffin pan with butter or coconut oil.
5. Pour the egg mixture evenly into each cup.
6. Place a small pan of water on the bottom oven rack (this helps keep the texture fluffy).
7. Bake the egg bites on the top rack for 23–25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
8. Let them cool slightly, then pop them out and enjoy!

❄️ How to Store:

• Keep extras in the fridge for 4–5 days.
• Or freeze in a sealed container—just thaw and reheat in microwave if you can't eat them cold!

🧡 Final Thoughts:

These are seriously one of the easiest, most forgiving recipes out there. Whether you’re keto, low-carb, gluten-free, or just hungry, they’re perfect for busy mornings.
