Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).

Finely dice zucchini, red bell pepper, and shallot.

In a skillet, sauté the diced vegetables with a pinch of salt until softened.

Let the sautéed vegetables cool completely.

In a blender, combine eggs, cottage cheese, sharp cheddar cheese, a pinch of salt, and black pepper.

Blend the mixture for about one minute until smooth.

Prepare a silicone muffin mold or standard muffin tin, spraying it with non-stick spray.

Fill each muffin cup with a little bit of the blended egg mixture and add a small amount of the sautéed vegetables on top.

Place the muffin tin in a larger pan and add water around it, filling it halfway up the sides of the muffin tin.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the egg bites are bouncy and firm.

Allow the egg bites to cool completely before serving.

Carefully pop the egg bites out of the silicone mold.
