Chef notes
Making a low-carb breakfast on the go can be a challenge. Egg bites solve that problem. I heat them up in the microwave for 30-seconds and breakfast is served!
Technique tip: Freeze leftover egg bites individually. Pop them into the microwave for breakfast on the go!
Swap option: Depending on what leftover meat and vegetables you have from earlier in the week, you can vary the type of egg bites you make (ham and cheese, broccoli and cheddar, spinach and feta are all some of my personal favorites).
Ingredients
- 5 large eggs, whisked
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup cottage cheese (4%)
