High Protein Egg Bites combines eggs, egg whites, ham, cottage cheese, and veggies into one easy-to-eat bite. Meal prep these on the weekend and have a quick grab-and-go breakfast all week long!
In a large skillet over medium heat melt the butter, then add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook the onions over low heat until they are soft and slightly golden. About 10-15 minutes.
Add the spinach to the onions and cook until wilted.
Dice the smoked ham and set it aside.
In the meantime, add the whole eggs, egg whites, cottage cheese, cheddar cheese, potato starch, and salt to a high-power blender. Blend on high for about 30 seconds or until everything is combined and smooth.
Place your muffin pan on a baking sheet. Pour the egg mixture into a lightly greased muffin tin. Next, add the ham along with the onion and spinach mixture and distribute it evenly across each egg bite.
Place a second casserole dish filled with hot water on the bottom rack of your oven, then place the baking sheet with the muffin tin on the oven rack above it.
Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the high-protein keto egg bites are set in the center. The cooking time may vary slightly, so keep an eye on them.
Allow the egg bites to cool before removing them from the muffin tray.

Expert Tips And Notes
This recipe makes between 22-24 egg bites. You can either use two regular-sized muffin tins or if you only have one, you can repeat the process after you bake the first batch. You can also make mini egg bites, by using a mini muffin pan.
Invest in silicone muffin cups: The silicone mold makes it really easy to get the egg bites to release once cooked.
Use Fresh Ingredients: Opt for fresh, high-quality simple ingredients to enhance the overall flavor of your egg bites. Fresh vegetables, fresh herbs, and premium cheeses can make a significant difference.
