These creamy everything bagel egg bites are a quick, savory breakfast option with a silky texture and a punchy seasoning blend. Perfect for busy mornings or meal prep, they combine eggs, cottage cheese, cheddar, and everything bagel seasoning for a flavorful start to your day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, room temperature
  • ½ cup small-curd cottage cheese
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (sharp or mild)
  • ¼ cup milk (whole or 2%)
  • 2 teaspoons everything bagel seasoning
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons chopped chives or green onions (optional)
  • Butter or non-stick spray for greasing the muffin tin

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Blend the cottage cheese (optional): In a blender or food processor, pulse the cottage cheese until smooth. This step creates a luscious texture but can be skipped if you like a bit of cottage cheese texture.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs and ¼ cup (60 ml) milk until combined and slightly frothy, about 1-2 minutes.
  4. Stir in the blended cottage cheese, ½ cup shredded cheddar, 2 teaspoons everything bagel seasoning, ¼ teaspoon salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Mix until evenly distributed.
  5. Fold in 2 tablespoons chopped chives or green onions for a fresh, mildly oniony bite.
  6. Evenly divide the egg mixture among the greased muffin cups, filling about ¾ full to allow room for puffing.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the egg bites are set but still slightly jiggly in the center. A toothpick inserted should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
  8. Let the egg bites cool in the pan for 5 minutes before removing to help them firm up and prevent breaking.
  9. Serve warm immediately or cool completely before storing in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the fridge.

Notes

Use room-temperature eggs for fluffier bites. Blend cottage cheese for a smoother texture or leave chunky for more texture. Watch baking time closely to avoid rubbery bites. Non-stick spray or butter the muffin tin well to prevent sticking. Variations include adding veggies, meats, or swapping dairy for plant-based alternatives.
