Baked in a water bath so the eggs set into a silky, custard-like texture instead of turning rubbery. Blended cottage cheese does the same job heavy cream normally would, and the result freezes and reheats well one bite at a time.

Steps

1
Preheat the oven to 160C (325F). Grease 6 silicone muffin cups or a standard muffin tin.
2
Blend the eggs and cottage cheese together in a blender until smooth.
3
Stir in the cheddar, chopped turkey bacon, salt and pepper by hand.
4
Divide the mixture across the 6 cups.
5
Set the muffin tin inside a larger roasting pan and add hot water to the roasting pan until it reaches halfway up the sides of the muffin tin.
6
Bake for 22 to 25 minutes until the egg bites are set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
7
Cool for 5 minutes before removing. Refrigerate or freeze what you don't eat right away.
8
Air fryer option: skip the water bath. Fill the same 6 cups and air fry at 160C (325F) for about 12 to 15 minutes, until set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
