Bacon & Egg Bites

Found in The Pioneer Woman magazine Spring 2026

 

6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

1 cup cottage cheese

8 large eggs

3/4 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

3/4 cup shredded pepper jack cheese (~3oz)

2 4oz cans chopped green chile peppers, drained and patted dry

4 green onions, thinly sliced

 

Preheat oven to350°. Spray a muffin pan.

Puree cottage cheese in a blender until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute. Add the eggs, salt, pepper and blend until smooth.

Mix together the cheese, chiles, green onions, and bacon in a medium bowl. Divide into 12 muffin cups and pour the egg mixture in.

Bake until the eggs are just set, 25-30 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes, then remove the egg bites from the pan.

These can be frozen for up to 2 months. To reheat, microwave 60-90 seconds or heat in a 325° oven for 15 minutes.
