These creamy cottage cheese egg bites with roasted red pepper and feta are soft, flavorful, and perfect for a quick breakfast, brunch, or snack. They combine velvety cottage cheese with smoky roasted red pepper and tangy feta for a satisfying treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs (about 300 g)
  • 1 cup small-curd full-fat cottage cheese (240 ml)
  • ½ cup chopped roasted red pepper (75 g)
  • ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese (40 g)
  • ¼ cup whole or 2% milk (60 ml), room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs (parsley or chives)
  • Pinch of garlic powder
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Olive oil or butter for greasing the muffin tin

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your muffin tin generously with olive oil or butter.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs and ¼ cup (60 ml) milk until fully combined and slightly frothy, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Fold in 1 cup (240 ml) small-curd cottage cheese, ½ cup (75 g) chopped roasted red pepper, and ¼ cup (40 g) crumbled feta cheese. Mix gently to keep some texture.
  4. Add 1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs, a pinch of garlic powder, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Stir until just combined.
  5. Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, checking at 20 minutes. The egg bites are done when set in the center but still slightly jiggly.
  7. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Run a small knife around the edges to loosen if needed.
  8. Serve warm or at room temperature. Reheat in the microwave for 30 seconds or in a low oven if desired.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for better blending. Avoid overmixing after adding cottage cheese and peppers to keep creaminess. Grease muffin tin well or use silicone liners to prevent sticking. Tent with foil if bites brown too quickly. For extra fluffiness, whip egg whites separately and fold in gently.
