Instructions

Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees F. I prefer silicone molds for this recipe, but if you’re using a 12-cavity muffin liner, grease it thoroughly so the egg bites don’t stick.

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add in the potatoes + onion and season with salt and pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Saute for 8 minutes until the potatoes are just crisp tender. Remove from the heat.

Meanwhile, combine the cottage cheese and eggs in the base of a blender and blend until creamy smooth and no chunks remain.

Divide the potato mixture evenly in your molds/ muffin tin. Add half the cheese + all of the chives and spinach. Top with the egg mixture. Finally, top with the remaining cheese + more chives.

Bake for 18-20 minutes. Broil for 1-2 minutes to brown tops as desired bvut watch them closely so they don’t burn.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. For longer storage, freeze up to 2 months. Reheat in the microwave for 30–60 seconds or in the oven at 325°F until heated through.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Cottage Cheese Blending Secret 🥄
Blend the cottage cheese until completely smooth before mixing with eggs to eliminate lumps and ensure a creamy, custard-like texture throughout the bites.
Potato Preparation Timing ⏱️
Dice potatoes into ¼-inch cubes and parboil for 3-4 minutes, then drain well to prevent excess moisture that can make the egg bites soggy and dense.
Mold Release Game-Changer 🧈
Lightly brush silicone molds or muffin tins with olive oil and let it coat evenly before filling to ensure effortless removal and perfectly shaped bites every time.
Fresh Chive Addition Strategy 🌿
Reserve half your chopped chives to sprinkle on top of the egg mixture just before baking, so they maintain their bright flavor and vibrant green color.
Optimal Baking Temperature & Time 🌡️
Bake at 350°F for exactly 18-20 minutes until the centers are just set but still slightly jiggly—this prevents overcooking and keeps them tender and moist when reheated.
