Endless-Option Egg Bites

There’s a reason egg bites have become a meal-prep staple: they’re portable, protein-packed and easy to make ahead. This base version blends cottage cheese right into the eggs before baking, for a soufflé-like texture and an extra boost of calcium, protein and vitamin B12. Because the base is so neutral, it becomes a blank canvas for flavors from around the world, letting you make these into whatever version you prefer. See the list below to get started, but feel free to take this recipe in whichever direction suits you and whatever mix-ins you have on hand. These are especially great for getting picky kids (and adults!) to eat some vegetables and protein on busy mornings before school or work. A few notes before you start: dice your vegetables small and give them a quick sauté first—this is the single biggest factor between a bite that holds together and one that turns watery. And don’t skip the muffin tin liners; they let these muffins release easily and make them perfect for taking on the go.
