Sophie’s Healthy Egg Bites
Looking for a new healthy snack that's also high in protein?
Ingredients
- 6 Large Eggs
- 4 Slices of Ramsay's Bacon Diced
- 2 tbsp Cornstarch
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 300 g Yester Farm Cottage Cheese
- 28 g Isle of Mull Cheddar Cheese Shredded
- 1/4 tsp Ground Pepper
- Butter to grease muffin baking trays
Instructions
- Boil the kettle and preheat the oven to 180°. Make sure you have one rack placed in the middle and another rack at the lowest position in your oven.
- Place a baking tray on the lowest rack and fill it half way with the boiling water from the kettle. The steam will help the egg bites to cook gently.
- Use a generous amount of butter to grease the muffin baking tray to avoid the egg bites from getting stuck.
- Cook the bacon in an air fryer for 15 minutes. (Either on the bacon setting or at 180°) (see notes)
- Once cooked, place the bacon onto a plate lined with paper towels and dice the bacon once cooled down.
- Then place the eggs, cottage cheese, cornstarch, salt, pepper & half of the cheddar cheese into a blender for roughly 30 seconds.
- Once combined, pour the mixture evenly from the blender into the prepared muffin tins. Fill each tin three quarters full.
- Sprinkle the bacon and the remaining cheddar cheese evenly in each tin. You can also use a spoon to push some of the bacon in so it's not sitting on top.
- Place the tins into the oven on the middle rack and cook for 20 – 25 minutes. (until the eggs set)
- Allow the egg bites to cool down & settle for 5 minutes. Use a spoon to carefully remove the bites from the tray, place them onto a plate & enjoy!
Notes
Please note all air fryers have different settings so remember to check these before cooking off the bacon.
If you’re looking for a veggie option, replace the bacon with your favourite veggies from peppers, mushroom to onions…the options are endless!
