Veggie Egg Bites are loved by everyone, People loves those yummy egg bites on the menu at any fancy restaurant. There’s so many wonderful flavors you can add to egg bites and I think this vegetarian version is especially delicious. The recipe I’m going to share with you is in fact the copy cat of the Starbucks vegetarian egg bites recipe
Best Pan For Making Egg Bites 🍳:
I like to use these silicone pans or muffin tin for making egg bites. They are too easy to pop out of the pan, and they turn out so superbly! The cups are a little bit larger than a classic muffin pan, so they’re actually the perfect size or if you want to use muffin pans you can use those for a decent breakfast.
Ingredients Required đź›’:
- Cottage cheese
- Crumbled feta cheese
- Eggs
- Sun dried tomatoes
- Fresh spinach
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Fresh herbs such as basil or parsley can be consider and will result great.
Making Of Egg Bites 👩‍🍳:
- Preheat the oven to 176°C. Place a baking sheet on the rack below the rack you’re going to use. Pour some hot water onto the baking sheet, which is going to create a steaming outcome for cooking the bites. I like to use a silicone pan which will be great for this recipe. But you can also use a regular-sized muffin tin equitably sprayed with nonstick spray (this recipe will make more than 6 if you use a regular muffin tin).
- In a blender container, combine the cottage cheese and eggs. Blend until its completely smooth. Then pour the cottage cheese/eggs into a large measuring cup, and gently stir in the cheese and salt/pepper.
- If you are using a silicone pan, place it on a baking sheet (or it will be too wobbly to move to the oven). Thing that should be kept in mind is that a regular muffin pan doesn’t needed to be placed onto a baking sheet. split the egg mixture between the muffin cups, filling each about Âľ-full. Spoon any cheese that is left beyond in the measuring cup into the egg cups. Top each with some sun dried tomatoes and spinach.
- Baking for 20-25 minutes is very essential. Following this timeline egg can be cooked completely. They will puff up, and then they’ll flatten a bit as they cool down. Remove the egg bites from the oven, let them cool for a few minutes, then use a knife or a spoon to take them out of the cups to serve perfectly made egg bites.
Air Frying Veggie Egg Bites:
These egg bites are beyond belief! They call for 5 simple and healthy ingredients, and as I gave you many flavor variation options, you can just play around them for better outcome. That means you can tailor them according to your needs and preferences, however you want.
Another thing I want to mention is that air fryer egg bites are perfect for meal preparation. You can easily store them in the refrigerator for 5 days or freeze them for up to 2 months. If you are super busy and you love to prepare these egg bites on Sunday for meal prep and eating them all week long for breakfast.
These are better than Starbucks egg bites, I cannot wait to hear this from you. You will be in and out of the kitchen in 15 minutes which is very convenient and the most important plus point is, cleaning up is very easy as they are made in an air fryer. Your kids will love them too!
Consider These Substitutions:
- Most preferable type of cheese is the cottage cheese by Good Culture brand. It’s texture is just a little creamier than others. I just recently found it, and I’m loving it!
- Don’t be afraid to try and experiment with flavor combinations. I’m tingle to try quite a few, including ham and manchego, chorizo, Swiss cheese and sausage, and diced green chilies and mushrooms. Just open your fridge and see what you have got!
- If you’ve got eaters that are picky in everything , let them decide what to add to their own veggie egg bites.
- These egg bites are also really easy to tailor according to your needs. You can swap out any veggie for what you have in your refrigerator or you can just take out the cheese if you want to keep these bites dairy-free. I’m a vegetarian but, I can confirm that you can add cooked sausage if that’s your thing! I’ve experimented it with veggie sausage and it worked great.
