How to Make Cottage Cheese Chorizo Egg Bites

1. Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 12-cup muffin tin well.

2. Cook the chorizo

In a skillet over medium heat cook the chorizo until browned. Add the diced bell pepper and cook for another 2–3 minutes until slightly softened.

3. Blend the egg mixture

In a blender combine the eggs, cottage cheese, salt, and black pepper. Blend until completely smooth.

This step helps create the fluffy texture similar to sous vide egg bites.

4. Assemble the egg bites

Divide the chorizo mixture evenly between the muffin cups. Pour the egg mixture over the top and sprinkle pepper jack cheese on each one.

5. Bake

Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the egg bites are set in the center.

6. Cool and serve

Let the egg bites cool for about 5–10 minutes before removing from the pan.

Tips for the Best Egg Bites

Blend the eggs well
This creates a light and fluffy texture.

Use a silicone muffin pan if possible
Egg bites release much easier.
