STEP 1:
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, and salt together. If you’ll be making a few plain egg muffins for your kids, use a 1/4 cup measuring cup and scoop the egg mixture into the reserved muffin liners in a non-stick muffin tin.
STEP 2:
Stir in the onion, spinach, tomato, and feta into the egg mixture.
STEP 3:
Pour egg mixture into each muffin liner or silicone egg molds.
STEP 4:
Bake in the oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted in the middle of a muffin.
Recipe Tips & Tricks
- Serving to kids – Wait to add the fresh veggies to the egg mixture – instead, reserve a few muffin liners for plain eggs whisked with milk and a little salt (and cheese, if you think your kids would like this). This way you don’t have to make two batches of muffins and can still appease the whole family!
- Swap out with your favorite veggies – Use veggies that are in season or that you love instead of the ones listed to customize it to your liking.
Storage & Reheating
- Fridge: Store leftover egg bites in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- Reheating: Warm egg bites in the microwave for about 30 seconds or until heated through.
Additions & Substitutions
Additions:
- Red bell peppers
- Cottage cheese: To add to this high-protein breakfast, you can try adding cottage cheese to them.
- Zucchini
- Any in-season veggie or your favorite veggie!
Substitutions:
- Vegan egg bites: To make these egg bites vegan, you’ll need to use an egg replacement like Just Egg. You can add some nutritional yeast as well, to add a bit of a cheesy flavor.
- Sharp cheddar cheese: You can replace the feta cheese with sharp cheddar cheese. I know this is more palatable for my own kids – I put shredded sharp cheddar cheese in their egg bites and use feta in my own.
What to Serve With Veggie Egg Bites
- Avocado: For a more complete meal!
- Hot sauce
- Toast: I love sourdough!
- Fresh fruit
