    Mini Egg Bite Details

    Flavor: These egg bites have a smooth flavor with earthy tones from the mushrooms and spinach. 

    Time: 30 minutes total! It takes around 10 minutes to make the egg bites and 20 minutes to bake them.

    Level of Difficulty: Super simple! This recipe involves sautéing, blending, mixing and pouring the batter. These basic instructions will give the best breakfast! 

    Ingredients and Substitutions

    • Eggs
    • Cottage Cheese: I have substituted ricotta cheese in these egg bites and liked it just as much as cottage cheese! 
    • Shredded Cheese: I like to use a shredded cheddar cheese. Swiss and gouda cheese also pair well with the mushrooms and spinach. 
    • Spinach: I like to cook with fresh baby spinach but you could also use frozen spinach. Allow the spinach to dethaw and squeeze out extra moisture before using. 
    • Mushrooms: I use sliced portabella mushrooms. You could also cremini mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, baby bellas or white button mushrooms. 
    • Extra Virgin Olive Oil: This is used to sauté the eggs and mushrooms. You could substitute butter or vegetable oil.
    • Garlic Cloves: Substitute garlic powder or omit. 
    • Thyme Sprigs: Substitute dried thyme. 
    • Salt
    • Black Pepper 
    Mushroom and Spinach Egg Bite ingredients: spinach, mushrooms, eggs, cottage cheese, shredded cheese, garlic, thyme and olive oil

    Instructions

    This cooking method was learned from Iowa Girl Eats Mini Egg Bites recipe. I have tried to cook these egg bites plenty of other ways (in a regular muffin tin, unlined in a muffin tin, without water in the oven) and none of them have turned out as good as Kristin's version. 

    1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Add a 9x13 pan filled with water to the bottom oven rack. 
    2. Start by adding Extra Virgin Olive Oil to a deep skillet frying pan over medium high heat. When the oil is hot, add the mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Stir occasionally. Cook for about 5 minutes until the mushrooms are golden. During the last minute of cooking, add the garlic cloves. Stir until fragrant. 
    3. Add spinach to the same pan and the mushrooms and garlic. Add a pinch of salt to spinach. Using tongs, toss the spinach as it wilts. Once wilted, remove from heat. 
    4. Add the eggs, cottage/ricotta cheese to a large blender. Blend on high for 1 minute until smooth. Alternatively, you can whisk eggs with the cheese until smooth. 
    5. Spray a silicone mini muffin pan with cooking spray. 
    6. Add about a tablespoon of the mushroom/spinach mixture to each muffin hole. Sprinkle with shredded cheese. Pour egg mixture over top until almost full.
    7. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the tops of muffins are firm and beginning to brown on the sides.
    8. Let cool for 5 minutes before enjoying!

    Bake egg bites for 20-25 minutes until they begin to 'pop' out of the pan in the oven.

    Variations

    These Mini Egg Bites have endless flavor combinations! Here are some fun ideas: 

    • Make it Mexican! Use chorizo, salsa, green onions and taco cheese! 
    • Caprese Egg Bites! Use fresh cherry tomatoes, mozzarella and basil. 
    • Kid friendly! Keep it simple and kid approved but eliminating the vegetables and using lots of cheese. 
    • Make it light! Remove the egg yolk and just use egg whites in this recipe for a very calorie conscious breakfast. 

    Equipment

    • 9x13 Pan
    • Tongs
    • Blender or a Whisk and a large bowl
    • Silicone Mini Muffin Pan 

    Storage

    Store Mini Mushroom and Spinach Egg Bites refrigerated in an airtight container. To reheat, microwave for 45 seconds. These egg bites also freeze well! Dethaw in the refrigerator over night. Reheat in the microwave for about 45 seconds. 

    Top tip

    Slice spinach into small pieces. Because the mini muffins are bite sized, you need tiny pieces of spinach in them. If you don't slice the spinach into bite sized pieces, you will get a lot of spinach with not a lot of egg.

    FAQ

    Is it good to eat spinach and eggs together?

    Spinach and eggs are two nutritional powerhouses! Spinach is full of good for you vitamins such as vitamin A, C and K. Eggs are full of protein and vitamin A, D and B12. Combine these two foods and you have a perfect breakfast! 

    Are mushrooms and eggs good together?

    Mushrooms have a natural earthy and nutty flavor. They lose that flavor when cooked. Combined and cooked with eggs softens the mushroom and gives them a slightly sweet flavor. Like spinach and eggs, mushrooms and eggs are a nutritional powerhouse. They both pack the protein and the nutrients! 

    Can you freeze mini egg bites?

    Yes, mini egg bites can be frozen! Simply, freeze egg bites in a sealed, airtight container. I recommend freezing the egg bites in small containers so that you can pop out a few egg bites for each meal. 

    What can I serve my egg bites with?

    Serve these Mini Spinach and Mushroom Egg Bites with a muffin or toast for a healthy breakfast. Or, serve as a side dish for brunch. This healthy and savory breakfast can be paired with a sweet breakfast dish to balance out the meal. Drizzle soy sauce over egg bites or serve with ketchup and hot sauce.
