- 1/3 cup julienned fresh basil leaves
- Crumbled feta cheese for topping
- Freshly ground black pepper for topping

Instructions
- Prep the Oven and Muffin Pan
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously coat a 12-cup muffin pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Blend the Egg Mixture
- In a blender, combine the eggs, cottage cheese, and sea salt. Blend for a few seconds until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.

- Transfer the mixture to a bowl if needed, then stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, and fresh basil until evenly combined.
- Fill the Muffin Cups
- Pour the High Protein Egg Bites mixture evenly into the prepared muffin cups. Sprinkle the tops with crumbled feta cheese and freshly cracked black pepper.
- Bake
- Bake for 20–22 minutes, or until the egg bites are puffed and lightly firm in the center.
- Cool and Serve
- Allow the egg bites to cool in the pan for at least 5 minutes before removing. Serve warm and enjoy.
Notes
- Cottage cheese helps create a creamy texture while boosting protein.
- Sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil provide richer flavor.
- For dairy-free egg bites, use dairy-free feta and blended tofu instead of cottage cheese.
- These egg bites pair perfectly with fresh fruit, toast, or avocado.
