Ingredient Notes for Veggie Egg Bites

• Eggs: Eggs form the protein-rich base of the recipe, giving the bites their fluffy, tender texture. They’re naturally packed with complete protein and nutrients like vitamin B12, choline, and selenium. In this dish, eggs hold the vegetables together while providing lasting satiety.

• Spinach: Spinach brings a vibrant green color and a boost of nutrients without overpowering the flavor. It’s rich in iron, calcium, magnesium, and vitamin K, all of which support bone and blood health. The mild, slightly earthy taste balances nicely with the sweetness of peppers and onions.

• Onions: Onions add savory depth and a gentle sweetness once cooked. They’re also rich in antioxidants, especially quercetin, which supports heart health. Their natural caramelization during baking enhances the overall flavor complexity of the egg bites.

• Bell Peppers: Bell peppers provide a pop of color — red, yellow, or orange peppers add sweetness, while green peppers bring a mild bitterness. They’re an excellent source of vitamin C and antioxidants, which boost immunity and add a refreshing brightness to the dish.

• Plant-Based Milk: A splash of plant-based milk (such as almond, oat, soy, or cashew) keeps the egg mixture light and moist without dairy. Soy or pea milk adds extra protein, while almond and oat milk give a creamier texture. It’s a simple swap that makes the bites more digestible while keeping them fluffy.

Preparation Tips

Sauté veggies first: Lightly cook the onions, peppers, and spinach before mixing them with the eggs. This softens their texture, brings out sweetness, and prevents excess water from making the egg bites soggy.

Chop small and even: Dice veggies into small, uniform pieces so they distribute evenly throughout each bite and cook consistently.

Whisk well: Whisk the eggs with plant-based milk until frothy — this incorporates air for fluffier bites.

Grease or line the pan: Use a non-stick muffin tin and lightly oil it or use silicone muffin pans to prevent sticking.

Fill evenly: Divide the veggie-egg mixture evenly into muffin cups, leaving a little space at the top since they’ll puff as they bake.

Bake gently: Cook at 350°F (175°C) until just set in the center. Overbaking can make them rubbery.

Serving Notes

• Meal prep friendly: Store in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for a month. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven.

• Pair with sides: Serve alongside fresh fruit, avocado toast, or a small green salad for a balanced meal.

• Add toppings: Spoon on salsa, hot sauce, or fresh herbs before serving for extra flavor.

• Customize for variety: Try swapping in mushrooms, zucchini, or fresh herbs to keep things interesting week to week.

• On-the-go snack: Wrap in a tortilla with avocado or beans to turn them into a quick breakfast wrap.
