Instructions

1. Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a muffin tin or line it with silicone or paper liners.

Using a good quality muffin tray will help the egg bites cook evenly and prevent sticking.

If you need one, you can use a non-stick muffin tin like this.

2. Prepare the filling

Wash and chop all vegetables into small, even pieces. If using frozen spinach, make sure to squeeze out excess water to avoid making the mixture too wet.

3. Mix the eggs

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, and milk until smooth.

Add salt and pepper, then stir in the vegetables and optional protein (chicken, turkey or tofu).

4. Fill the muffin tray

Pour the mixture evenly into the 12 muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.

Make sure the ingredients are evenly distributed so each bite has a balanced mix of protein and vegetables.

5. Bake

Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the egg bites are set and slightly golden on top.

Let them cool for a few minutes before removing from the tray.

How to make this recipe even healthier

This recipe is already quite balanced, but small adjustments can make it even lighter or higher in protein.

For example, you can reduce calories by using low-fat cheese or skipping it entirely. Increasing the ratio of egg whites to whole eggs will further increase protein while lowering fat.

You can also load the recipe with more vegetables to increase volume and fiber without significantly increasing calories.

These small changes can have a big impact when applied consistently to everyday meals.
