    If you struggle with quick go-to meals for your little ones, then let me help you out. These egg bites are easy, healthy, and perfect for days when you don’t have much time to prepare anything. It can be tough squeezing so many tasks into one day, and making a batch of these honestly makes my life so much easier.

    You’ll Need:


    🔸️Silicone muffin cups or tray
    🔸️1 egg per silicone cup
    🔸️Cottage cheese (optional but adds extra protein)
    🔸️Grated cheese
    🔸️Finely chopped veggies (peppers, spinach, mushrooms, etc.)
    🔸️Optional: diced ham, herbs, cooked sausage (omit salt for babies under 1)

    🧑‍🍳 Step-by-Step Recipe:


    1. Prep your silicone cups
    Lightly grease if you want easy removal.
    2. Add 1 egg to each cup
    Crack one egg directly into each silicone cup. Whisk each egg lightly with a fork right in the cup.
    3. Add cottage cheese
    Add a spoonful of cottage cheese to each cup and give a quick mix.
    4. Add your fillings (mix after each addition)
    Into each cup, add:
    Finely chopped veggies
    Grated cheese
    Optional ham or other extras
    5. Fill to about ¾ full
    Everything together should come to around three-quarters of the cup.


    🔥 Cooking options:

    Air Fryer
    200°C for 10 minutes
    Check at 8 minutes—air fryers can vary.
    Oven
    180°C / 350°F for 15–20 minutes
    Bake until the centres are fully set.

    ❄️ Let them stand to cool
    Leave the egg bites to cool for 5–10 minutes before removing from the cups. They firm up nicely and cool to a baby-safe temperature.

    🧊 Storage
    Store the egg bites in a sealed tub or container in the fridge.
    Use within 3 days.
