Equipment
- Air fryer
- Mixing bowl
- Whisk or fork
- Silicone egg bite molds (or small ramekins)
- Cooking spray
- Spoon or spatula
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs or 1½ cups egg whites
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 cup chopped baby spinach
- ½ bell pepper diced
- 2 green onions sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Set your air fryer to 320°F (160°C). While it preheats, get your ingredients prepped.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, salt, and pepper until well combined. If you prefer a smoother texture, you can blend this mixture for a few seconds.
- Lightly spray your silicone egg bite molds or ramekins with cooking spray to keep the bites from sticking.
- Divide the chopped spinach, diced bell pepper, and sliced green onions evenly into each mold.
- Pour the egg and cottage cheese mixture over the veggies, filling each mold about ¾ of the way full to allow room for puffing.
- Top each egg bite with a generous sprinkle of shredded mozzarella. This will melt and turn golden as the bites cook—so good!
- Place the molds carefully into your air fryer basket and cook for 10–12 minutes, or until the bites are set and slightly golden on top. Depending on your air fryer model, you may need to rotate or cook in batches.
- Let the egg bites cool for a few minutes, then gently pop them out using a spoon. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.
