Equipment

Ingredients

  • 9 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk of choice
  • 1 1/2 cups spinach
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped/shredded cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a muffin tin. You can use silicone liners or a little butter to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier. Silicone liners also give the egg bites a smoother, neater finish but a simple butter coating works just as well for everyday use.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until smooth.
  • Add your chopped spinach, shredded cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well.
  • Pour mixture into muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. You need to leave room for them to expand so do not fill to the top.
  • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until centers are set and tops are lightly golden.
  • Cool in the pan for a few minutes before removing.
  • Serve warm, or cool completely and store in the fridge or freezer.

Notes

These egg bites are perfect for making ahead, and we love keeping a batch on hand for a quick, high-protein breakfast anytime. If you plan to eat them within a few days, the fridge works great, but they also freeze really well for longer storage.
In the fridge, store them in an airtight container for up to 7 days.
For the freezer, place the egg bites in a single layer until frozen, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container. They’ll keep well for up to 6 months.
To reheat, simply microwave for 30 to 60 seconds, or warm them in the oven at 350°F until heated through.
