Ingredients 

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, fresh spinach chopped, or thawed frozen spinach
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 teaspoon basil
  • 3/4 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 2-3 slices bacon, cooked and diced
  • 3/4 cup grape tomatoes, diced

Instructions

  • Start by chopping the spinach and tomatoes. Cook and dice the bacon into small pieces. Set all your ingredients aside for easy access.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, milk, kosher salt, and black pepper until fully combined. Stir in the chopped spinach, oregano, basil, and mozzarella cheese. Make sure everything is well incorporated. Gently fold in the diced bacon and chopped grape tomatoes.
  • Lightly grease a silicone muffin tin or air fryer-safe mold with cooking spray. Pour the egg mixture into each muffin cup, filling them about 3/4 of the way full.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 320°F (160°C) for 3 minutes. Place the muffin tin in the air fryer basket and cook for 12-15 minutes, or until the egg bites are set and lightly golden on top.
  • Once cooked, remove the egg bites from the air fryer and let them cool slightly. Serve immediately, or refrigerate for later use. Enjoy these delicious, protein-packed Air Fryer Egg Bites with Cottage Cheese as a snack or breakfast!
