How it’s Made

Simply chop up the onion and bell peppers and place in a small skillet to sauté. This breaks down the veggies and cooks them throughout. Next, you’ll combine 9 eggs with 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup of milk depending on how creamy you like your eggs. After the bell peppers and onions are cooked, you’ll place them in the bottom of a greased muffin pan. Then you’ll add the chopped spinach, followed by pouring in the egg mixture. You’ll take a small spoon and give each individual muffin cup a small stir, just to get everything evenly combined. You’ll crumble fresh feta on top of each muffin and then place in the oven at 350 degrees F for about 20 minutes. And wala! You have amazingly wonderful little egg bites at your fingertips!

Spinach & Feta Egg Bites

Time: 30 minutes | Serves: 12 egg bites

Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 orange bell pepper, diced

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, cut into 4ths

  • 1/4 of a large onion, diced

  • 4 cloves of garlic, minced

  • 3 cups spinach, chopped

  • 9 eggs, preferably pasture raised for best nutrition

  • 1/4 cup milk (you can add 1/2 cup of milk if you like your eggs more creamy)

  • 1/4-1/2 cup feta cheese

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions:

  1. First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a muffin pan with olive oil or avocado oil cooking spray. (I love USA Pans because they are non-stick!)

  2. Heat olive oil in a small skillet and add the chopped bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes or until lightly golden and cooked through. Set aside.

  3. In a small bowl, combine the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper and whisk until combined.

  4. To assemble, place a spoonful of the cooked veggie mixture into each muffin cup. Next, place a sprinkle of the spinach on top. Divide until everything has been used. Then pour the egg mixture over top it all. Taking a small spoon, gently mix together each muffin cup until the ingredients are spread throughout. Finally, top with feta cheese. You can be as liberal with the feta as you’d like!

  5. Place the egg bites in the oven to bake for 20 minutes or until no longer jiggly when the pan is tapped.

  6. Serve with sliced avocado and an extra twist of salt and pepper, if desired. Enjoy!

    Note: You can interchange the veggies in this dish! For example: you can change the tomatoes for mushrooms, bell peppers for asparagus, or add more of whatever you like the best… just make sure you chop them down!
