Description

Ready for a more exciting breakfast? Say hello to our protein-packed, pillowy, perfectly cooked egg bites. Whether you need a quick breakfast, microwaveable lunch, or easy afternoon snack, these delicate little egg bites are the answer.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 large sweet onion, diced
  • 2 large zucchini, shredded and excess water squeezed (about 2 cups, squeezed)
  • 4 medium carrots, shredded (about 2 cups)
  • 1/2 salt
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp sumac
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 cups cooked quinoa, cooled
  • 4 eggs, beaten
  • 1 tsp baking powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375F
  2. If you don't have the cooked quinoa ready, cook it now.  
  3. In a large deep non-stick skillet or pan heat the olive oil.  Add onion and cook on medium for 10 minutes, adding water one tablespoon at a time to prevent them from burning. Add zucchini, carrots, 1/2 tsp salt,  oregano, sumac, and black pepper.  Stir well and cook for  5 minutes.
  4. Place veggies in a large bowl and add cooked quinoa.  Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning to your liking. Add eggs and mix well.
  5. We will bake the egg bites in muffin tins. This recipe makes 18 egg bites.  Generously spray or oil the muffin tin, do not skip this step or the egg bites will stick.
  6. Place 1/4 cup of veggie, quinoa egg mixture in each muffin tin cavity and bake for 25 minutes.
  7. Wait until the egg bites are completely cool before removing them from the pan.
  8. Enjoy for breakfast, lunch, or dinner

Notes

  1. With any egg bites make sure to cook the veggies before adding them to the egg 
  2. Make sure you squeeze the liquid out of  the zucchini
  3. Make sure you generously oil or spray the muffin tin o prevent the egg bites from sticking. You may also use muffin liners, you'll have to spray them as well.
