Buying advice
1) Blend eggs with cottage cheese (or cream), salt, and your add-ins (bacon, cheddar, spinach). 2) Pour into greased jars, seal finger-tight. 3) Cook at 172°F for 60 minutes. 4) Cool slightly and unmold. 5) Refrigerate for the week — reheat 30 seconds.
FAQ
What temperature for egg bites?
172°F (78°C) for 60 minutes — custardy and fluffy, not rubbery.
What makes them fluffy?
Cottage cheese or cream blended into the eggs — the café secret.
Do I need a mold?
No — small jars or bags work; leave headroom for expansion.
