Steps
- 01Blend eggs, cottage cheese, cream, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- 02Stir in the cheddar, bacon, and chives by hand.
- 03Pour into greased silicone molds, 3/4 full.
- 04Ready for the air fryer.
Cook the bacon crispy. Soft bacon in an egg bite turns chewy and weird. If you're using the air fryer for the bacon first (and you should), crumble it while it's still warm.
