Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (plant-based)
  • 4 slices smoked turkey bacon, diced
  • 1/2 cup plant-based cheese, shredded
  • 2 tbsp fresh chives, finely chopped
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp natural gelling agent
  • 1 tsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Dice the smoked turkey bacon and finely chop the chives. In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs thoroughly before adding cottage cheese (plant-based), plant-based cheese, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), salt, pepper, and natural gelling agent. Stir until all ingredients are evenly combined.
  2. Combine Flavors: Gently fold in the diced bacon and chives, ensuring every bite has a balanced mix of savory and fresh flavors. The mixture should be smooth with some chunkiness from the bacon and cheese.
  3. Fill the Muffin Tin: Grease a muffin tin or line it with silicone liners. Scoop the mixture into each cup, filling them about 3/4 full to allow space for rising during baking.
  4. Bake Until Firm: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the edges turn golden and the egg bites are firm yet moist inside.
  5. Cool and Serve: Let the bites cool for a few minutes to prevent breaking when removing from the tin. Enjoy warm or chilled for later.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs for better whisking and a smoother mixture.
  • Do not overfill muffin wells to avoid spillage and ensure even rising.
  • Prepare the mixture ahead of time by mixing it the night before.
  • Check doneness by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean when fully baked.
  • Experiment with different types of plant-based cheese for varied flavor and texture.
