EGG BITES: the on-the-go-breakfast GOAT

Written By Hannah Williams

I go through phases of leaning on egg bites as the BEST THING EVER…and every time I come back to them, I’m like…WHY DO I EVER STOP MAKING THESE?? I have two methods I use for egg cups right now. The EASIEST is…I order them as part of my Gardencup delivery that I get each week. They are egg white bites with red peppers and spinach and are delicious. The OTHER way is…I make them at home. A little more work, but still super easy. The thing that made it even easier?? I made a somewhat ridiculous purchase of an egg bite maker from Target for about $30.

The REASON I always used to stop making them was because I would make them in muffin tins, would have to preheat the oven and that for me is just annoying lol. But the little $20 egg bite maker is quick and easy and the cleanup is like 2 seconds. So…down below are two of my current favorite egg bites with the macros - but you can put ANYTHING in them! ANNNYYYYTHING.

Ingredients: each lil recipe makes 4 egg bites (about)

  • EGG WHITE, SPINACH, TURKEY SAUSAGE & CHEESE (I used DF cheese)

    • 1 breakfast turkey sausage

    • 12g mexican style shreds (I used dairy free Violife…so macros for yours might be different)

    • 90g egg whites

    • lil pile of chopped spinach - didn’t measure - it was a small amount - probably like 1-3 calories lol.

    • S&P sprinkle of each

    • MACROS for 4 bites: P12/C6/F4 CAL: 109

  • EGG, cheese & scallion

    • 2 eggs

    • 12g mexican style shreds (again - I used dairy free Violife…so your macros might be different)

    • 1 medium scallion

    • S&P sprinkle of each

    • MACROS for 4 bites: P12/C4/F13 CAL: 183

Alternative ingredients - LITERALLY ANYTHING

  • egg, taco meat, peppers, cheese (like a lil breakfast taco situation with prepped protein for the week!)

  • egg white, mushroom, onion, spinach

  • egg & cheese

  • egg white, bacon, cheddar

  • egg white, tomato, pesto, mozz

  • egg, tomato, feta

  • egg white, sausage, red onion

  • egg, jalapeno, bacon

  • egg whites, bacon, Swiss (or gruyere), cottage cheese (blend that with the eggs) - Starbucks dupe

Instructions:

  • in a bowl, whisk the eggs, and your ingredients together.

  • I used a little egg bite maker from target - so you just fill the silicone cups 3/4, add them to the little maker, and cook for 10 minutes.

BUT you can also make them in a muffin tin - those macros and amounts will be much different as the egg bite cups I used were really small. If you make them in the oven/muffin tin…

  • Preheat oven to 350°F , spray the muffin tin with cooking spray, add fillings to the cups, then pour whisked eggs into each, filling about 3/4 full, and bake for 15-20 minutes until set, checking with a toothpick for doneness. 

The egg bite maker I got makes 4 at a time…which is perfect for me…CLICK HERE FOR THE LINK

There is also one that cooks 9 at a time…CLICK HERE FOR THAT ONE

You can also get a silicone baking tray for egg bites HERE - but portion sizes will likely be different.

If you are creating your own recipe…go into your tracking app and just add all the ingredients to the recipe…and makes X servings…for me - it would be 4 servings - however many you are making. That way - it will automatically calculate the macros for each egg bite based on the total ingredients you are using.

ENJOY!!  If you try it, tag me on IG @hannahj28 or comment below with how you made it your own!
