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)

Dry Your Potatoes Thoroughly 🥔
Pat diced Yukon gold potatoes completely dry with paper towels before adding to the egg mixture to prevent excess moisture and ensure a creamy, fluffy texture without sogginess.
Blend Cottage Cheese Smooth 🥣
Use a food processor or immersion blender to purée the cottage cheese until completely smooth before mixing with eggs; this creates the signature creamy texture rather than grainy lumps.
Pre-Cook Potatoes and Onions 🧅
Sauté diced potatoes and onions in olive oil for 5-7 minutes until softened before adding to the egg mixture; this ensures they cook through completely while the eggs set, preventing undercooked vegetables.
Fill to the Right Level 🎯
Fill silicone molds or muffin cups only three-quarters full; this allows the egg bites to puff up and rise slightly above the rim for that professional Starbucks appearance.
Add Fresh Chives at the End ✂️
Reserve half of the chopped chives and fold them in just before baking to preserve their delicate onion flavor and vibrant green color, rather than losing them to heat exposure.
