- 1/2 cup plant-based cheese (plant-based), shredded
- 1 cup fresh spinach, rinsed and chopped
Flavor Enhancers and Seasonings
- 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
- 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Prep the Ingredients: Finely chop the smoked turkey bacon and sauté lightly to release its smoky flavor. Rinse and chop fresh spinach. Measure out cottage cheese (plant-based) and plant-based cheese (plant-based). Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Whisk the Eggs and Add Flavors: In a large bowl, whisk the eggs thoroughly until slightly frothy. Mix in cottage cheese (plant-based), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), apple cider vinegar (natural), black pepper, and sea salt. Stir in the natural gelling agent to ensure the perfect tender and firm texture.
- Combine All Ingredients: Fold in the cooked smoked turkey bacon, chopped spinach, and plant-based cheese (plant-based) evenly into the egg mixture, ensuring balanced flavors and textures in every bite.
- Bake Your Egg Bites: Evenly divide the mixture into a lightly greased muffin tin or silicone molds for easy removal. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the egg bites are set and lightly golden on top.
- Cool and Enjoy: Allow the Cottage Cheese Egg Bites to cool for a few minutes before removing from the molds. Serve warm or store for a quick grab-and-go snack anytime.
Notes
- Use room temperature eggs for a fluffier texture.
- Do not overmix to avoid tough egg bites.
- Use silicone molds or lightly grease muffin tins for easy removal.
- Let the bites rest for 5 minutes after baking for clean slices and ideal texture.
- Portion evenly using an ice cream scoop or measuring cup for consistent sizes and uniform cooking.
