Ham and Red Pepper Egg Bites
Makes 6 servings

INGREDIENTS
6 large, about 330 g Egg
150 g Cottage cheese
100 g Lean ham, sliced (Cooked deli weight, as sold.)
100 g Red pepper
40 g Reduced-fat cheddar
A small bunch, snipped Chives
To taste Black pepper
Enough to grease the tin Olive oil spray (Counted at a quarter of a gram per spray, which is what the nozzle on most bottles delivers. Four sprays is 9 kcal.)

METHOD
1. Heat the oven to 160°C. Spray a twelve-hole muffin tin and sit it inside a deep roasting tray.
2. Blend the eggs with the cottage cheese and black pepper until completely smooth, about thirty seconds.
3. Dice the ham and pepper finely and divide between the holes with the cheddar and chives. Pour the egg over to fill each about three-quarters.
4. Pour boiling water into the roasting tray to come halfway up the tin and bake for twenty-five minutes, until just set with a slight wobble. Cool in the tin for ten minutes before lifting them out.

Contains milk and eggs.

RECIPE NOTES
Blending cottage cheese into the egg and baking in a water bath is what makes them smooth and custardy rather than rubbery. Skip the water and they still work but eat more like a muffin.
Two bites make a serving. They keep four days in the fridge and are better cold than reheated.
