Ingredients

• Olive oil: Just enough to sauté the veggies and add flavor.
• Bell peppers, diced: Use any color you like for sweetness and color.
• Purple onion, diced: Adds flavor and a pop of color. Sub with white onion if needed.
• Minced garlic: Brings out that signature savory Mediterranean flavor.
• Spinach, chopped: It cooks down quickly and blends right in.
• Olives, sliced: Kalamata olives or black olives works.
• Feta cheese: Adds the perfect pop of creamy saltiness.
• Large eggs: The base of the recipe. Whisk them well for even texture.
• Milk: Use any milk you have or swap for heavy cream to make them extra rich.
• Salt and pepper to taste: Season lightly, especially if your olives and feta are salty.
• Extra feta and chopped parsley (optional): A quick garnish for more flavor and a fresh look.

How To Make Egg Bites

Step 1. Pour olive oil into a small skillet. Add peppers, onions, and garlic and cook over medium heat for two minutes.

Step 2. Stir in spinach and cook for an additional minute.

Step 3. Remove from heat. Add olives and mix well.

Step 4. Spray mini muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray. Spoon vegetable mixture into each muffin tin.

Step 5. Sprinkle feta cheese over the top of the veggies.

Step 6. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs and milk.

Step 7. Pour egg mixture over the veggies. I found that the best way was to use a measuring cup to pour the eggs. You can even mix the eggs and milk in the measuring cup if you want to save on prep time.

Step 8.  Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and add salt and black pepper to taste. You can also garnish with additional feta cheese and/or chopped parsley.

Step 9. Let sit for about 5 minutes, then remove from muffin tin and serve warm.

Storage Instructions

Store leftover egg bites in an airtight container and refrigerate them, and they should stay good for 3-4 days. You can also freeze them. Be sure they’re completely cool, place them in a plastic storage bag, then freeze. For extra protection, you can wrap the storage bag in aluminum foil.

If you are reheating refrigerated egg bites, place them in the microwave for about 30 seconds. If they’re frozen, microwave for about 60-90 seconds.

Variations And Add-ins

The beauty of these egg muffins is that you don’t have to stick to this ingredient list. For example, I mixed red bell peppers with green, just because that’s what I had in my fridge, but you can use any peppers you like. Here are some other swaps you can try.

• Cheese: Swap feta for crumbled goat cheese if you like a tangier flavor.
• Spice: Add a pinch of crushed red pepper for a kick of heat.
• Herbs: Use fresh basil or dill for a burst of herb flavor.
• Eggs: Use only egg whites for a lighter option.
• Other veggies: Try adding diced broccoli, cauliflower or green onions.
• Toppings: Sprinkle the tops with shredded mozzarella or Parmesan before baking.
• Tomatoes: Stir in chopped sun-dried tomatoes for a more intense Mediterranean vibe. You can also mix in a few chopped cherry tomatoes for extra juiciness.

Tips And Tricks

These egg bites are practically foolproof, but a few simple tips will make sure they come out perfect every single time.

• Chop the vegetables small so they cook quickly and evenly in the pan.
• Let the veggie mixture cool slightly before adding it to the muffin pan.
• Use a liquid measuring cup to pour the egg mixture cleanly into the muffin cups.
• Grease the muffin pan really well or use a silicone pan to prevent sticking.
• Let the egg muffins cool for 5 minutes before removing to help them set.
• Run a thin knife or rubber spatula around the edges to release each bite without tearing.
