Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and spray a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking oil.
In a large mixing bowl, crack 8 eggs and whisk until frothy for about 2-3 minutes.
Add salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to the whisked eggs and mix well.
Gently fold in cottage cheese, shredded Colby Jack cheese, and bacon bits.
Fill each muffin cup about three-quarters full with the mixture.
Place a shallow pan filled with hot water on the lower rack of the oven for moisture.
Bake for 23-25 minutes, until edges are set and centers are slightly jiggly.
Let cool in the tin for about 3-5 minutes before carefully removing each bite.
