Prepare the Creamy Blend
In a bowl or blender, combine the eggs and cottage cheese and blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Add the shredded cheese, salt, pepper, and any optional ingredients such as vegetables or herbs, then mix gently so everything is evenly distributed.

Perfectly Fluffy Bites
Slowly pour the egg mixture into the compartments of the breakfast pan, filling each section almost to the top without overflowing. Gently tap the pan on the counter to remove air bubbles and help the mixture settle evenly. Before placing the pan in the oven, remove the handle.
Carefully transfer the pan to the oven and bake until the egg bites are fully set and lightly golden on the surface. Once baked, remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your meal!
