Method 1: Oven-Baked (Easy & Accessible!)

1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C).
2. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or use silicone muffin liners.
3. Blend together eggs, cottage cheese, shredded cheese, cream, salt, and pepper until smooth. (A blender helps make them extra fluffy!)
4. Pour the mixture evenly into each muffin cup, filling about ¾ full.
5. Add your favorite mix-ins (bacon, veggies, etc.), gently stirring into each cup.
6. Place the muffin tin in a water bath (fill a baking pan with hot water and place the muffin tin inside to steam).
7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the egg bites are set but still jiggly in the center.
8. Let cool slightly before removing and serving.

Method 2: Instant Pot (Creamier & Faster!)

1. Blend together eggs, cottage cheese, shredded cheese, cream, salt, and pepper until smooth.
2. Grease a silicone egg bite mold and divide the mixture evenly.
3. Add your mix-ins and gently stir.
4. Cover the mold with foil and place it on a trivet inside the Instant Pot with 1 cup of water.
5. Cook on “Steam” for 10 minutes, then let natural release for 5 minutes.
6. Remove and let cool before serving.

Method 3: Sous-Vide (The Ultimate Starbucks Texture!)

1. Preheat a sous-vide water bath to 170°F (77°C).
2. Blend together eggs, cottage cheese, cheese, cream, salt, and pepper until smooth.
3. Pour the mixture into small glass jars or silicone molds and add your mix-ins.
4. Seal and submerge in the water bath for 45-60 minutes, until set.
5. Let cool slightly before serving.
