Ingredients

3 whole eggs
½ cup egg whites
½ cup low fat cottage cheese
1 tsp salt
½ tsp pepper
7 oz (200g) ham slices chopped
2 tsp olive oil
½ lb (250g) mushrooms sliced
1 cup grated cheddar cheese

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C.
Blend together the eggs, egg whites and cottage cheese until smooth then season with salt and pepper.
Sauté the sliced mushrooms in a few teaspoons of oil in a hot pan set over medium-high heat until cooked.
Place the chopped ham, mushrooms and a sprinkle of cheddar cheese in each hole of a non-stick muffin pan. If using a metal muffin pan, spray it generously with non-stick cooking spray or grease thoroughly with oil.
Pour the egg mixture over the fillings, gently tap the pan on the kitchen counter to make sure the egg mixture gets in between the mushrooms and ham. Fill to approximately 3/4 of the way full to prevent the eggs from overflowing once in the oven.
Place the muffin pan into a larger, deep pan then add boiling water. The water shouldn't come more than half way up the muffin pan.
Place in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until the egg bites are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the oven, allow to cool for 5 minutes then gently remove with a palette knife and allow to cool fully before storing in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
