Vegetarian Egg Bites are a quick, healthy, and flavorful breakfast or snack. Packed with protein, vegetables, and seasoning, these mini egg muffins are customizable and perfect for busy mornings or meal prep. They’re low-carb, gluten-free, and can be made dairy-free if needed.

Ingredients

  1. 6 large eggs
    1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
    1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
    1/2 cup diced bell peppers (any color)
    1/4 cup finely chopped onion
    1/4 cup spinach, chopped (or any leafy green)
    1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon black pepper
    1/4 teaspoon paprika (optional, for extra flavor)
    1 tablespoon olive oil (or cooking spray)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or a little olive oil to prevent sticking.

  1. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and paprika until well combined.
  2. Add the shredded cheese, diced bell peppers, chopped onion, and spinach to the egg mixture. Stir until everything is evenly distributed.
  3. Pour the egg mixture into the muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the egg bites are puffed and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  5. Let the egg bites cool for a few minutes before removing them from the muffin tin. Serve immediately or store for later.

Notes

  • These egg bites can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge for up to 4 days or frozen for longer storage.
  • To make them fluffier, whisk the eggs well to incorporate air, or add a teaspoon of baking powder.
  • If using frozen vegetables, make sure to thaw and drain any excess moisture before adding them to the mixture.
  • For a vegan version, use a plant-based egg substitute and dairy-free cheese.
  • You can easily customize these egg bites by adding your favorite vegetables or cheeses.
