Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C).

In a medium-sized pan over medium heat, sauté the chopped broccoli, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and red onion until mostly softened, about 5 minutes.

Remove the sautéed veggies from heat and set aside.

In a large bowl, add 12 large eggs and whisk them together.

Add 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic, 1 teaspoon dry mustard, and 1 teaspoon dried parsley to the eggs and whisk until combined.

Add the 1 cup of lowfat cottage cheese to the egg mixture and stir well. If you prefer a smoother texture, you can blend the cottage cheese before adding it.

Add in the 1/2 cup of reduced fat cheese and the sautéed veggies, stirring everything together until well combined.

Line a muffin tin with silicone liners or spray with cooking spray.

Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full with the egg mixture using a 1/4 cup measuring cup.

Place the filled muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 13-15 minutes, checking around the 12-minute mark to avoid overcooking.

Once done, let the egg bites cool for a few minutes before removing them from the muffin tin.
