Ingredient Notes for these easy breakfast egg muffins

The ingredient list above is for a standard size muffin tin that holds 12 spaces. You can cut recipe in half in you have a smaller muffin tin. Here’s one I use linked right here. 

The veggies mentioned above is what I recommend, but there is no wrong way to go. Just toss em’ in. 

Steps to make these simple healthy egg muffins

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Spray your muffin tin with a nonstick spray, probably the most important step!! 

Step 2

Whisk eggs, milk, salt and pepper together in a large mixing bowl.

I prefer to use a large mixing bowl with a spout, or pouring the mixture into a large measuring cup with a spout for easy pouring, trust me. Once you are done mixing together, pour into a bowl or cup with a spout.

Here’s one that I am referring to here. 

Step 3

Add your toppings into the muffin tin. You are going to add the chopped spinach, diced peppers, shredded cheese, and diced onions to the muffin tin. 

Note – I would recommend filling the toppings only halfway in the muffin tin to prevent it from overflowing once the egg mixture is added. 

Step 4

Pour the egg mixture into each muffin tin so they are filled evenly.

Step 5

Place muffin tin in the oven and cook for about 20-25 minutes until the tops look golden. Adjust your cook time based on the size of your muffin tin. 

Step 6

Remove the mini egg bites from the oven and let cool, what an easy recipe! Enjoy!! 

My favorite flavor variations to try of these delicious & healthy mini egg bites:

1. Feta Cheese, Cherry Tomatoes, Basil and Spinach
2. Mushrooms, Parsley, and Parmesan
3. Ham, Cheddar and Chives
4. Turkey Sausage, Onion, and Mozzarella Cheese

Add your favorite veggies and fresh herbs for a delicious variation of your own.

Important Tips and Tricks to make these protein packed healthy mini egg bites:

Can I use egg whites instead of whole eggs?

You can! But I would recommend doing at least half and half of egg whites and whole eggs. The reason for this is the egg bites need the fat from the eggs to stay soft and moist.

If you use all egg whites, they will become spongy and chewy. 

While I do recommend using whole eggs, if you go this route make sure to use them both equally for the best results. 

Chopping & Dicing Tips for healthy egg cups:

I recommend chopping and dicing everything small. You want them all in smaller size to it distributes through the egg bites evenly.

If you don’t have these handy gadgets for chopping and dicing, check these out below. I am extremely spoiled now when it comes to chopping and dicing my veggies now that I have these awesome inventions.

It’s a HUGE time saver in the kitchen.

How to store your healthy egg muffin cups: 

Refrigerator Method

Let the egg muffins cool completely, store in an airtight container and place in the refrigerator. These will stay good for up to 3 days. 

Freezer Method

This option is my ultimate go to for meal prepping. Let the muffins cool completely. Wrap them individually in foil or plastic wrap, place in Ziplock bag and freeze for up to 3 months. 

To Reheat

You can reheat these cute lil’ egg muffins right in the microwave. If you are reheating from the freezer, dethaw overnight in the refrigerator, or reheat from frozen in the microwave for 1-2 minutes until heated through.
