Protein Egg Bites
Egg bites are the ultimate meal-prep staple—perfect for busy mornings, an easy snack, or even a quick protein boost post-workout. These bacon and veggie egg bites include Greek yogurt for extra creaminess and a bit of baking soda and powder, giving them a light, fluffy texture. With a savory blend of bacon, onion, and carrots, these egg bites offer a healthy balance of protein, veggies, and flavor!
Ingredients:
Eggs – 6 large
Onion – 1/2, finely diced
Garlic – 4 cloves, minced
Bacon – 4 slices, cooked and chopped
Carrots – 1/2 cup, finely grated
Greek Yogurt – 1/3 cup (plain and unsweetened)
Baking Soda – 1/4 teaspoon
Baking Powder – 1/4 teaspoon
Salt & Pepper – To taste
Parsley – Chopped, for garnish
Instructions:
Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a muffin tin or line with silicone liners for easy removal.
Cook the Bacon and Veggies: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and chop once cooled. In the same pan, sauté the onion and garlic until soft, about 2-3 minutes.
Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, Greek yogurt, baking soda, and baking powder. The yogurt adds a creamy texture and boosts protein, while the baking agents help make the bites fluffy.
Combine Ingredients: Stir in the chopped bacon, sautéed onions and garlic, and grated carrots. Season the mixture with salt and pepper as desired.
Fill Muffin Tin: Pour the egg mixture evenly into the muffin tin, filling each about three-quarters full. Top each with a sprinkle of chopped parsley.
Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the centers are set. Let the egg bites cool slightly before serving.
Storage and Reheating Tips:
Store these egg bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days. For easy reheating, pop them in the microwave for 20-30 seconds, and they’re ready to go! You can also freeze them for up to a month.
