Homemade egg bites with berries

Ingredients

For the egg bites:

  • 6 large eggs (preferably organic cage-free)
  • ½ cup liquid egg whites
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
  • ½ cup shredded reduced-fat cheese (Mexican blend or mozzarella)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional add-ins: diced bell peppers, cooked turkey sausage, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes

To serve:

  • 1 cup mixed berries

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or spray with cooking spray.
  2. Prepare the spinach: If using fresh spinach, roughly chop it.
  3. Mix the eggs: In a large bowl, whisk together the whole eggs and liquid egg whites until well combined. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Add fillings: Stir in the chopped spinach, optional add-ins (we like to mix and match) and cheese.
  5. Fill the muffin cups: Pour the egg mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full.
  6. Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, until the eggs are set and slightly golden on top. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
  7. Cool and store: Let the egg bites cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then remove and transfer to a wire rack. Once completely cooled, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  8. Serve: Reheat 3 egg bites in the microwave for 30-45 seconds and serve alongside fresh berries.

Meal prep tip: Make a batch on Sunday, and you’ll have grab-and-go breakfasts all week!
