Spinach and Mushroom Egg Bites

What you need: 

• 12 eggs (or equivalent egg whites)

• 1 cup cottage cheese

• 2 cups spinach (I like to use frozen)

• 1 cup chopped mushrooms

• Salt and pepper to taste 

How to do it: 

1. Preheat oven to 350 

2. In a large pot cook the pasta 1 minute less than the directions 

3. While the pasta is cooking, blend cottage cheese and milk until smooth

4. Once the pasta is drained, using the same pot, add butter and flour to create the roux

5. Once well combined, add cottage cheese mixture and ½ cup shredded cheese (save the rest for later)

6. Add the smoked paprika and pepper

7. Once all combined in the pot, add to a 9x9 baking dish 

8. Top with the remaining ¼ cup of shredded cheese

9. Bake for 20 minutes and enjoy!
