Why make egg bites?
- Make ahead
- Freezer friendly
- Super quick and easy to make
- Low carb
- High protein
- Easy to adapt to your tastes and dietary needs
- Easy to reheat
Equipment
Depending on whether you are making your egg bites in the oven or in the Instant Pot, the equipment you will need will vary. If baking in the oven, you can use either a greased muffin tin or some silicon molds, which work really well.
Instant Pot egg bites tend to be fluffier and lighter, and have that sous vide texture that you get from Starbucks.
Either way you choose to make them, these are my top picks for the kit you need.
Serving Suggestions
Egg muffins, of course, are perfect for breakfast, but you can easily serve them for lunch or brunch alongside a fresh salad or steamed veggies. Serve them as part of an easy weeknight dinner with your favorite veggie and potato sides.
How to Store
Refrigerate
Let the egg bites cool before placing in an airtight contianer. They will keep well for up to 4 to 5 days in the fridge. Cook a batch on Sunday night and enjoy them throughout the week.
Freeze
Wrap the egg bites individually in plastic wrap and place in a freezer bag. They will keep well in the fridge for around 2 months.
How to Reheat
From chilled
You can reheat the egg bites in the microwave for 30 seconds, or in the oven at 350F until heated through. If reheating in the oven, cover them with foil so that the tops don't burn.
From frozen
Thaw the egg bites in the fridge before reheating as above. You can also reheat them from frozen in the microwave for 60 seconds.
Tips to make the best egg bites
- If using a muffin tin, be sure to grease it really well with oil before placing in the egg mix. Don't use an old muffin tin that doesn't have a smooth surface as the eggs will be more likely to stick.
- Don’t fill the muffin molds all the way to the top. The eggs will expand as they bake, so leave them a a bit of room. Place a baking sheet under the muffin tin to catch any overflow.
- Cool the egg bites fully before storing. Let them cool on a cooling rack where air can circulate all round them.
- Get creative! It's so easy to adapt your egg muffins to your tastes and dietary needs. Mix up your veggies and seasonings as you see fit!
