Ingredients

5 eggs + 225ml egg whites (or 10 eggs)
1 cup of shredded gruyere or swiss cheese
½ cup full fat cottage cheese
½ teaspoon kosher salt
Couple cracks of fresh black pepper
2/3 cup turkey sausage meat
Non-stick cooking spray

Instructions

• Cook the sausage meat before making the egg bites.
• Spray 12 silicone muffin tins with non-stick spray
• Pre-heat oven to 3oo degrees F and place a baking dish that is filled with 1 inch of water on the bottom rack. This will create a humid environment and help the eggs cook evenly.
• Add the eggs, cheese, cottage cheese, salt, and pepper to a blender and blend on high for 20 seconds until light and frothy.
• Fill the muffin tins almost all the way to the top with the egg mixture.
• Divide the sausage equally among all of the muffin tins
• Bake in the oven for 30 minutes, or until the center of the egg bites are just set.
• Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes, then use a spatula or fork to carefully remove them from the muffin tin. Enjoy!
