Egg Bite Casserole

Oven-Baked Egg Bites are one of my favorite copycat recipes. I usually bake them in silicone muffin cups, but here I adapted the recipe to fit in a 9x9-inch casserole dish by scaling it up 50%. Love the faster prep and cleanup a casserole dish provides. Enjoy!

Printable Recipe

INGREDIENTS

FILLING:

• 9 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

• 3 scallions, sliced

EGG MIXTURE:

• 6 large eggs

• 4 ounces shredded cheddar cheese

• 3/4 cup 4% cottage cheese

• 6 tablespoons heavy cream

• 1 1/2 tablespoons sriracha (or ketchup)

GARNISH:

• 2 ounces shredded cheddar cheese

• 3 scallions, sliced

DIRECTIONS

• Preheat oven to 400F and place rack in center position.

• Spray a 9x9-inch casserole dish with nonstick baking spray.

• Spread the bacon and 3 scallions over the bottom of the prepared casserole dish.

• In a blender, combine the eggs, cottage cheese, heavy cream, 4 ounces of shredded cheddar cheese, and sriracha.

• Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bacon and scallions.

• Sprinkle the top with the remaining cheddar cheese and scallions.

• Bake, uncovered, for 25-30 minutes or until cooked through (a knife inserted in the center of the casserole should come out clean); remove from oven and rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Note

• The casserole will puff up while baking, but it will settle down into a nice even layer as it cools.
