Prepare 4 slices of veggie bacon until crispy and crumble it up (microwave method shown).

Crack 6 eggs into a separate bowl to check for bad eggs or shell pieces.

Add 1 and 1/4 cups of sharp white cheddar (substituting for Gruyere) to the eggs.

Add 1 and 1/4 cups of cottage cheese to the mixture.

Add 2 tablespoons of corn starch to the blender.

Season the mixture with hot sauce, salt, and pepper.

Blend all ingredients until smooth.

Prepare muffin tins by spraying with cooking spray and place them inside baking pans.

Pour the egg mixture into the muffin tins until almost full.

Distribute the crumbled bacon evenly over the top of the egg mixture.

Gently press the bacon down into the egg mixture to submerge it slightly.

Boil water in a pot and pour it into the bottom of the baking trays for steaming.

Bake in the oven at 300°F for 20 to 25 minutes.

Let the egg bites cool for a few minutes before removing them from the muffin tins.
