Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 4 links vegetarian sausage
- 1 cup, shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup milk
- 0.5 cup, diced bell pepper
- 1 cup, chopped spinach
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray or olive oil.
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the vegetarian sausage links and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.
Chop the cooked vegetarian sausage into small pieces and distribute evenly into the muffin cups.
In the same skillet, add the diced bell pepper and chopped spinach. Sauté until the bell pepper is tender and the spinach is wilted, about 3 minutes. Set aside to cool.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Add the shredded cheddar cheese, sautéed bell pepper and spinach, and stir to combine.
Carefully pour the egg mixture into each muffin cup, filling them about three-quarters full.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the egg bites are set and slightly golden on top.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the egg bites cool in the pan for a few minutes before removing.
Serve warm, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat in the microwave for a quick breakfast or snack.
