These egg bites are quick to whip up and the potential combination of flavors is endless. Below you will find the recipe for a bell pepper and cheddar combo and one with bacon, spinach, and mushrooms. These are an ideal grab and go breakfast when you don’t have time to cook in the morning. Two egg bites yield 14 grams of protein and two whole eggs.

After baking, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for breakfast throughout the week. If you prepare a couple combinations and in bulk, you can freeze the bites for future consumption. To store, wrap the bites in plastic wrap, then freezer paper and place in a dated and labeled freezer bag. When it is time to eat, pull them out and microwave in a paper towel for about 30 seconds or until warmed all the way through.
