Ingredients

Egg Bites:

  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup 2% cottage cheese 63g
  • 2 tbsp cheddar cheese 15g
  • 1/2 slice provolone 10g
  • 1 tsp butter 5g
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp pepper

Topping: (optional)

  • 1-2 slices bacon
  • 1/2 slice provolone

Instructions

  • Find a loaf pan or dish that will fit 2 small ramekins or cups. Set them inside the dish.
  • Grease the ramekins with oil.
  • Blend all base ingredients in a food processor until smooth (it's fine if there are small flecks of cheese).
  • Cook a slice of bacon until crispy, drain on paper towel, set aside.
  • Pour the egg mixture through a fine colander or sieve into each greased ramekin, evenly distributing the mixture. (If there is left over cheese bits after, just scoop them evenly into each ramekin as well, the sieve just helps remove any air bubbles).
  • Optional: Break the bacon slice in half, reserve the other half and sprinkle small bits of it into each ramekin over the egg mixture.
  • Boil a cup of water and pour it into the dish surrounding the ramekins and cover the entire thing with saran wrap.
  • Microwave for 4mins 30s, let it sit in the microwave for 2 mins afterwards, with the door shut to finish setting. (Microwaves can vary so add more or less time depending on how cooked you'd like your eggs. Mine were quite soft and smooth after this amount of time).
  • Remove from the microwave and using tongs or mitts, remove the ramekins from the water bath and let cool for a few minutes before using a knife to gently remove the egg bites from the ramekin, turning them upside-down onto a plate.
  • Top each egg bite with a bit of cheese (I used provolone) and a small piece of bacon. Enjoy your Keto Microwave Egg Bites!
