Ingredients
  

For the Batter
  • 8 pieces Eggs Large eggs deliver the best results.
  • 1 cup Cottage Cheese Consider using whipped cottage cheese for an even smoother texture.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and spray a 12-cup muffin tin generously with cooking oil.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, crack all your large eggs and whisk them thoroughly until frothy. Add a pinch of salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, mixing well.
  3. Gently fold in the cottage cheese, shredded Colby Jack cheese, and bacon bits until evenly distributed.
  4. Carefully divide the egg mixture among the prepared muffin cups, filling each one approximately three-quarters full.
  5. Place a shallow pan filled with hot water on the lower rack of the preheated oven for a steam bath.
  6. Place the muffin tin on the upper rack and bake for 23-25 minutes until the edges are set but the centers are slightly jiggly.
  7. Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let it cool for 3-5 minutes. Use a knife to run around the edges of each muffin cup to loosen the bites.
