A Protein-Packed Breakfast That’s Easy, Healthy, and Black Mama-Approved

We all know mornings can be chaotic—but that doesn’t mean you have to skip breakfast or settle for a boring bite. These homemade egg bites are easy to prep, full of flavor, and made with simple ingredients you probably already have in the fridge.

They’re like a mini frittata baked into a muffin tin, perfect for meal prepping, on-the-go snacking, or feeding the whole family without the stress. Loaded with chopped spinach, bell peppers, red onions, and melty cheddar cheese, each bite is seasoned with love and baked to perfection.

Ingredients

• 2 handfuls fresh spinach
• chopped 1 small red onion
• chopped 2 bell peppers (any color)
• chopped Kosher salt, to taste
• Black pepper, to taste
• Cooking spray or oil
• 6–12 eggs(depending on how many bites you want to make—1 egg per muffin tin)
• Shredded cheddar cheese, for topping

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prep Your Veggies

1. Chop the spinach, red onion, and bell peppers into small, bite-sized pieces.
2. Add them to a mixing bowl and season with kosher salt and black pepper to taste.

2. Prep the Muffin Tin

1. Spray a 12-cup muffin tin evenly with nonstick spray or oil to prevent sticking.

3. Fill the Muffin Cups

2. Crack one egg directly into each cup over the veggies.
3. Top each with a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese.
4. Gently stir or mix with a fork inside each cup to combine.

4. Bake to Perfection

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Bake egg bites for 20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and slightly golden on top.

5. Serve or Store

1. Enjoy immediately, or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
2. Let cool for a few minutes, then remove from the pan using a butter knife or spatula.

? Pro Tips for Perfect Egg Bites

• Customize Your Fillings: Try adding cooked turkey bacon, mushrooms, or jalapeños for extra flavor.
• Make Them Dairy-Free: Skip the cheese or swap in a non-dairy alternative if you prefer.
• Meal Prep Friendly: These egg bites reheat well—just microwave for 30 seconds before heading out the door.
• Go Big with Seasoning: Add a little garlic powder, paprika, or hot sauce for that extra kick.
