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.

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

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I serve this to my kids?

You can try omitting the veggies in a few egg cups for your kids if you have picky eaters like I do. I leave theirs plain (I reserve about 3-4 muffin cups for them) and then add the veggies in for me afterwards. These egg bites offer a great source of protein for your kids!

Can I use this recipe for baby-led weaning?

Yes! This is a great way to introduce some new veggies to your child. You’ll want to make sure you use veggies that are appropriate for your child’s age and abilities and that you’ve cut them in the appropriate size. You could also keep the egg muffins plain and omit the veggies to start with. I found the Solid Starts app to be very helpful when I did baby-led weaning with my own kids, to help me know how to serve foods to them appropriately.

Is it possible to make these vegan egg bites?

It sure is! You will need to use an egg replacement such as Just Egg.

Can I use different veggies?

Of course! Use your favorite or in season veggies in this egg bite recipe!
