How to Make High-Protein Breakfast Bites
1
Make the Filling
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs and cottage cheese. Stir in the diced turkey sausage, green onions, spinach, and most of the shredded cheese (reserve a little for topping). Mix until evenly combined.
2
Prepare the Pastry
Preheat oven to 350°F and lightly grease a muffin tin. Cut the puff pastry sheets into large squares and press one square into each muffin cup, letting the edges slightly hang over.
3
Fill and Bake
Use an ice cream scoop to fill each pastry cup with the egg mixture. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
4
Serve or Store
Enjoy warm straight from the oven, or let them cool and store in the fridge for 3–4 days. They reheat perfectly in the microwave or air fryer!
