Make these high protein breakfast egg muffin cups in your muffin tin for easy, freezer friendly breakfast meal prep. They stay fluffy when baked using a water bath.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk (any kind)
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
  • 1/2 cup cooked, chopped spinach
  • 1/4 cup cooked, crumbled bacon or diced ham
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare a 12-cup muffin tin by spraying each cup well with non-stick spray, or line it with silicone muffin pan liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together until they are light and frothy. This helps create a fluffy interior.
  3. Stir in the salt and pepper.
  4. Divide the chopped spinach and cooked meat evenly among the prepared muffin cups.
  5. Pour the egg mixture over the fillings in each cup, filling them about three-quarters full.
  6. Top each cup with shredded cheese.
  7. Prepare a water bath: Place the muffin tin inside a larger baking pan. Carefully pour hot water into the larger pan until it reaches about halfway up the sides of the muffin tin. This steam method prevents rubbery texture.
  8. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the egg bites are set and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
  9. Remove the muffin tin from the water bath and let the egg bites cool in the tin for 5 minutes before removing them.

Notes

  • For best results when freezing, let the egg bites cool completely. Place them on a baking sheet in the freezer until solid, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag for long-term storage.
  • To reheat frozen egg muffin cups, microwave them individually for 60 to 90 seconds, or until heated through.
  • You can substitute the spinach and bacon with other mix-ins like diced bell peppers, mushrooms, or feta cheese for different keto egg bites variations.
