Egg Bites / Breakfast / Meal on the Go /Animal Based / Gluten-Free / Carnivore / Keto / Low-Carb 

These Egg Bites can be made in regular Muffin size or Mini Muffin size. They are great for on-the-go breakfast or an easy meal prep for the week. We make them Carnivore like the recipe states, Animal Based with a brushing of Maple Syrup or you can add your favorite seasonings or herbs if you like for a savory taste. These will store in the fridge for 4-5 days and a few months in the freezer if stored in an air tight container. This recipe makes about  

The ingredient you will need are: 

6 Eggs. 

½ Cup of Cottage Cheese (Daisy is the cleanest we have found, no Carrageenan). 

½ Cup of Shredded Cheese of your choice. We used mild cheddar. 

½ teaspoon Salt. 

½ teaspoon Pepper (Optional). 

Protein of your choice precooked. Bacon, Ham or Sausage. We chose Diced Bacon. 

Butter, Ghee or Bacon Grease to grease muffin pan. 

Greasing Brush or paper towel. 

Food Processor or Blender. 

Muffin or Mini Muffin Baking Pan. 

In a Food Processor you want to use the processing large blade. If you use a blender, it will be whatever blade it has built in. 

Add the 6 Eggs, ½ Cup of Cottage Cheese, ½ Cup of Shredded Cheese, Salt and Pepper (Optional) in the Food Processor or Blender and blend till it is a smooth texture. Save the Bacon or other protein till later use. 

Grease your muffin baking pan well covering bottoms and sides, so your Egg bites slide right out when done and don’t stick. 

If your Food processor or blender has a pour spout, fill your muffin holes about ¾ full by carefully pouring in the mixture. If yours don’t, no worries. A spoon or ladle will work too. Just fill ¾ full because we still have the Diced bacon.  

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. 

Take a pinch of cooked diced bacon and just drop in each muffin hole filled with ¾ of the mixture. You can’t go wrong here. Add as much Bacon or other precooked protein as you like, just don’t over fill where the mixture runs over the hole. 

Place in center of the oven and bake for 10 Minutes. 

They will puff up in the oven and then deflate some once cooled. 

Pull from oven and set baking pan on hot pad or cooling rack for about 5 minutes to cool. 

If you are doing Animal Based diet and want to add a little sweetness this is where I would just brush on some real maple syrup over the tops of the egg bites while they are hot. Not a lot because you don’t want to kill your carb count, but just a touch of sweet is yummy! 

Use a fork or butterknife to gently lift out the egg bites and enjoy or store in an air tight container for later. These are actually very good cold and make great road trip meals to eat cold from a cooler. You can heat them in the oven on warm or pop in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds. 

We hope you enjoy these Eggtastic treats for on-the-go breakfast or a protein packed snack.
