Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 0.25 cup milk
- 4 vegetarian bacon strips
- 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 0.25 cup chopped onion
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or olive oil.
In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and sauté the chopped onion for about 2-3 minutes until it starts to soften.
Add the vegetarian bacon strips to the skillet and cook until they are crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Chop the cooked vegetarian bacon into small pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.
Add the chopped vegetarian bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, baby spinach, salt, and black pepper to the egg mixture. Stir until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the egg bites are fully set and slightly golden on top.
Allow the egg bites to cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before removing them.
Serve warm, or allow to cool completely before storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
