One of my bulk recipes that came out pretty well :3
Ingredients:
– 1 lb baby spinach
– 24 eggs
– 2-3 bell peppers, diced
– Salt and pepper
– 8 oz block of mozzarella (cheddar was a bit too greasy for me)
– Non-stick muffin tin (I haven’t tried cupcake liners, but you could probably use those with no issue)
- Preheat your oven to 325° F (should be done by the time you finish assembling the egg bites)
- Set a pot of water to boil
- While the water is heating, crack one egg into each divot in the muffin tin
- Scramble your eggs (I used chopsticks to avoid adding too much air into the egg bites)
- Blanch your spinach (I did it in two batches to fit in the pot)
- Sprinkle about 1-2 tbsp of bell peppers and 1-2 tbsp of spinach into each divot, mix around so it’s not all clumped together
- By now the oven should be heated; place the tins in on the middle/bottom rack, cook for 10-12 minutes or until they’re mostly solid
- While the eggs are cooking, grate or slice up your mozzarella (however much you want to slap on top of each egg bite; I did about 1.5” X 1.5”, fairly thin, squares. Usually would grate but it’s more work and dishes)
- Once the eggs are firm, move to top rack, slap the cheese on top and set to broil on high for 3-4 minutes. Make sure to watch so they don’t burn.
Voila 😀 I have two each morning when I get to work.

How do you get your bites to come out so clean? I spray my muffin tins lightly (maybe need a heavier dose?) and I always have to use a spoon and scrape the sides to get them to come out. Lots of residue on the muffin tin.
Ooooh, this is great! I never thought to drop some cheese in before they’re finished! I’ve always just put grated cheese in with the rest of the ingredients.
I generally whisk all the eggs and pour over the goods in the muffin tins. Do you find the eggs mixed enough? I did breakfast burritos this week, but might do spinach bites for next week. Thanks for the ideas!
Yeap I do something similar and are great for breakfeast. You can add whatever you want, my husband likes with bacon but I find to heavy.
Good idea, thanks
