Ingredients (My Favorite Brands)
For the Potatoes
1 lb baby potatoes – diced into half-inch pieces
1 tablespoon garlic-infused olive oil
1/2 teaspoon each:
salt
paprika
pepper
parsley
Optional: crushed red pepper flakes and Gourmend garlic chive powder
For the Egg Bites
4 large eggs
1 cup cottage cheese
1 tablespoon garlic-infused olive oil
1/2 teaspoon each
salt
pepper
mustard powder
1/2 cup spinach, roughly chopped (see note)
Toppings
1 cup freshly shredded cheese (I used a mix of cheddar and pepper jack)
2 tablespoons finely diced chives
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400° F. Wash and dice the potatoes. Toss with garlic-infused olive oil and spices.
Bake the potatoes on a lined baking sheet for 15 minutes.
Combine the egg bite ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.
After the potatoes bake, lower oven to 350° F.
Evenly distribute the potatoes between the cups of a muffin pan. Add the egg mixture, ensuring each cup is only about 80% full. Sprinkle the cheese and chives on top of each muffin.
Bake at 350° for 18-20 minutes. Switch the oven to broil for last 1-2 minutes to brown the egg bites. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

Other Modifications
You can easily add meat to this recipe (bacon, chopped sausage, etc.) by stirring it into the blended egg mixture before pouring it into the muffin pan.
Notes
Blending the spinach into the egg mixture will turn it all pretty green. If you don’t want green egg bites, finely chop the spinach and mix it into the egg mixture after blending, or just omit the spinach.
