Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
In a mixing bowl, whisk the large eggs until smooth and pale.
Stir in the cottage cheese, cooked bacon bits, shredded Colby Jack cheese, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Generously spray a 12-cup muffin pan with cooking oil.
Evenly distribute the egg mixture into each muffin cup, filling them about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 23-25 minutes, until puffed up and a toothpick comes out clean.
Let cool for a few minutes, then run a knife around the edges and remove the bites from the pan.
