Ingredients:
- 1 cooked chicken sausage, crumbled (any variety)
- 2 Tbsp. cooked baby portabella mushrooms, minced
- 6 eggs
- 1/2 cup shredded white cheddar (you can use any shredded cheese)
- 1/4 cup cottage cheese, 4% fat
- salt
- freshly ground black pepper
- cooking spray
- Make sure to cook the sausage and mushrooms prior to making the egg bites.
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Fill a baking dish with 1 inch water and place on the bottom rack of the oven. This creates a humid environment and helps cook the eggs evenly.
- Add the eggs, cheese, cottage, cheese and dash of salt and pepper to a blender. Blend on high for 30-45 seconds until mixture is frothy.
- Spray a 6 ct muffin tin lightly with non-stick cooking spray. Fill each evenly with the egg mixture.
- Top with the cooked sausage and mushrooms, divided evenly between the muffin tins.
- Place on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 30 minutes or until the center of the egg bites are set.
- Remove from the oven and let sit for about 5 minutes. Remove each carefully with a spatula. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
