How to Make Bacon Egg Bites

Step 1: Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Use Bella Nonnas Olive Oil (Basil, Butter, Evoo) to line muffin pans. Get the diced bacon cooked to crisp and set aside on paper towels to absorb excess grease. 

Step 2: Using a food processor (recommended) or a blender, blend the cottage cheese for about 1 minutes or until it’s whipped smooth with no curds. Into the same food processor, add in the eggs, gruyere, hot sauce, salt/pepper, and cornstarch. Blend until combined and smooth. 

Step 3: Get a pot or kettle of water boiled on the stove and pour it into a casserole dish placed on the bottom rack in the oven, enough water to come halfway up the pan. Close the oven immediately to capture the steam inside. 

Step 4: Divide the egg mixture evenly among each cavity in the muffin pan, filling them almost to the top. Add a generous pinch of cheese to each muffin, using a spoon to push the cheese to the center. Top each cup with a generous amount of bacon. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the eggs are set and no longer jiggly.
