Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup cottage cheese (full fat preferred for creaminess)
- 1 1/2 cups shredded Gruy re or Swiss cheese
- 1/2 cup finely chopped garlic scapes
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for a tiny kick)
- Cooking spray or butter for the mold
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Place a large baking pan or roasting tray on the middle rack and fill it with about an inch of hot water. This creates a water bath that will keep the egg bites moist and prevent them from browning or becoming rubbery.
- Wash your garlic scapes and trim off the woody ends and the flowery bulb. Finely mince the green stalks until you have about half a cup. Set these aside to be folded into the batter later.
- In a blender, combine the eggs, cottage cheese, shredded Gruy re, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Blend on high for about 30 to 60 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and slightly frothy. This aeration is the secret to the light texture.
- Grease a silicone muffin tray or a specialized egg bite mold very well. Stir the chopped garlic scapes into the egg mixture by hand. Carefully pour the mixture into the prepared molds, filling each cup about three-quarters of the way full.
- Carefully place the silicone mold into the water bath in the oven. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the centers are set and no longer jiggle. Remove from the oven and let them cool in the mold for 5 minutes before popping them out.
