10 large eggs
1-1/4 cup cottage cheese
3/4 cup pepper jack cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/3 cup jarred roasted red peppers
2 cups fresh baby spinach
3 tablespoons green onions
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Preheat your oven to 300°F. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin generously with olive oil cooking spray or line with muffin liners.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped spinach and a pinch of salt. Sauté until slightly wilted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a blender, combine the eggs, diced peppers, cottage cheese, shredded pepper jack cheese, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth.
Fill each muffin cup 3/4 of the way full with the egg mixture. Add a spoonful of spinach and a sprinkle of chopped green onions.
On a cookie sheet, pour very hot water in the bottom of the sheet about 1/2 way up. Place the muffin tin on top of the water lines cookie sheet. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes, or until the egg bites are set in the center and lightly golden.
After removing from the oven, remove the muffin tin from water-filled cookie sheet. Set muffin tin aside and allow to cool for 5 minutes before removing. Serve warm, or store in the fridge for up to 5 days.
