Equipment

- Measuring cups
- Spoon
- Tongs
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- ½ cup cottage cheese
- ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup finely chopped spinach
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped red bell pepper
- 2 tablespoons cooked turkey bacon, chopped
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
- nonstick spray
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 300°F.
- In a blender or mixing bowl, combine the eggs, cottage cheese, salt, and black pepper. Blend or whisk until smooth.
- Stir in the shredded cheddar, chopped spinach, red bell pepper, and chopped turkey bacon.
- Lightly spray the silicone muffin cups or egg bite mold with nonstick spray.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly into 6 cups, filling each one about three-quarters full.
- Carefully place the cups or mold into the air fryer basket.
- Air fry at 300°F for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the egg bites are set in the center.
- Let them cool for a few minutes before removing from the mold.
- Serve right away or let them cool fully before storing for meal prep.
Notes
- Blending the eggs and cottage cheese helps make the egg bites smoother.
- Do not overfill the cups because the eggs will puff slightly as they cook.
- Cooking time can vary a little depending on your air fryer and the size of your mold.
- Let the egg bites cool slightly before removing them so they hold their shape better.
