Bacon & Gruyere Egg Bites

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Place a shallow
dish filled with boiling water on the lower shelf of the
oven.
1.
In a food processor or blender, combine 6 whole eggs,
1 cup cottage cheese, 1 cup shredded Gruyere cheese, 1
tsp hot sauce, and salt and pepper to taste. Blend for 30
seconds to 1 minute, until smooth.
2.
Grease a muffin tray and pour the egg mixture into
each cup, filling them about 3/4 full.
3.
Cook the bacon until crispy, then finely chop it.
Sprinkle the chopped bacon on top of each egg-filled
muffin cup.
4.
Place the muffin tray on the shelf above the water dish
in the oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the eggs
are set and slightly puffed.
5.
Remove the egg bites from the oven and let them cool
for a few minutes. Use a knife to loosen the edges of the
egg bites and remove them from the muffin tray.
