  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and cottage cheese until the mixture is fairly smooth and slightly glossy.
  4. Stir in the chopped vegetables and shredded cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Pour the mixture evenly into the greased muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.

These bites can be made ahead of time and store well in the fridge for up to 4 days. They reheat quickly and can be varied by adding pre-cooked protein or swapping out vegetables and cheeses as desired.
