1-First, preheat your oven to 325°F and grease a non-stick muffin tin or use silicone liners to prevent sticking.

2-In a blender, combine the eggs, cottage cheese, salt, and pepper, blending on medium speed until mixed without creating too much foam.

3-Next, distribute the shredded cheese and your desired add-ins evenly into each muffin cup.

4-Pour the egg mixture into the cups until they are about three-quarters full, which helps avoid overflow.

5-Bake for 22 to 25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned and the eggs are set, then let them rest for 5 minutes before removing.

6-For an alternative, you can use an air fryer: set it to 300°F and cook for 12 to 14 minutes, covering with foil if the tops brown too quickly.

7-These steps keep the bites tender and prevent them from becoming rubbery, making them ideal for meal prep.

8-Remember, for variations like vegan options, replace eggs and cheese with silken tofu blends as needed.
