Kori's tips.
- Drain the artichokes well. Extra moisture can make the egg bites soft instead of fluffy.
- Blend until smooth. Fully blending the cottage cheese gives the egg bites their creamy texture.
- Let them cool slightly. A few minutes of cooling helps them hold together when removing them from the pan.
- Make a double batch. These keep well and are perfect for meal prep breakfasts throughout the week.
