Sausage and Cheese Egg Bites
 
 
Author:
Recipe type: Breakfast
Serves: 24
INGREDIENTS
  • silicone muffin pan
  • 8 oz turkey sausage
  • 1.5 cups egg whites (368g)
  • 1.5 cups low fat cottage cheese (330g)
  • 8 eggs
  • 2 oz cheddar cheese
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp Italian seasoning
INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Preheat the oven to 300ºF. Cook the sausage in a skillet over medium heat until cooked through. As it cooks, break the sausage into really small pieces to make it easier to divide into each muffin cup. Set aside and allow to cool.
  2. Add all remaining ingredients to blender, and blend until well combined.
  3. Set 2 muffin pans on baking sheets to make them easier to transport to the oven. Pour the egg mixture evenly into the 2 muffin pans and add about 1 tablespoon of sausage to each muffin cup.
  4. Bake for 45 minutes or until cooked through (about 30 minutes if using a mini muffin pan).
NOTES
– I dump all the ingredients straight into the blender, but I do like to break the eggs into a separate bowl first because it's easier to fish out any pieces of egg shell if needed.

– If you're using a block of cheese, it's not necessary to shred it. Let the blender do the work for you.
