First of all my kids won't stop asking me to make these. They devoured them in minutes! These mini egg bites or egg muffins were inspired from my friend Allison who found this on Pinterest. Of course I immediately went to her board and had to repin it. Allison is a mom of 2, almost 3 kids, who I truly admire. She always has the coolest ideas from anything to recipes, costumes, to home organization. As a working mom of 2 kids myself, I truly don't know how she does it all!
Originally I wanted to use the large muffin tins that these are designed for. However, due to our home flooding a few weeks ago, I currently don't have a kitchen. Our kitchen supplies were quickly packed in boxes and it's hiding in one of the 40 boxes that were packed by the emergency flood workers. The only muffin tins I could find were my mini muffin tins. The positive side of using mini muffin tins is they take just 10 minutes to bake and they truly are bite size. The not so positive side is they are gone in 5 minutes!! My kids couldn't get enough of them! You can make these egg bites many different ways. I experimented by only using one of our muffin tins. Next time I'll fill both up and add grilled onions, chives, and mushrooms. For the kids I wanted to keep it simple.
Time to Prepare: 6 Minutes
Time to Cook: 10 - 12 Minutes
INGREDIENTS:
3 Extra Large Organic Free Range Eggs
6 Tbs Almond Flour
Small Handful of chopped Arugula or chopped cooked broccoli (optional) (Any topping you desire. Keep it small since they really are very small)
2-3 Tbs of Grass Fed Chedder Cheese
Directions:
Spray the muffin tin with nonstick Olive Oil
Preheat oven to 300 degrees
Beat eggs together, then add the Almond Flour. Beat again. Then sprinkle the cheese and veggie mixture in and mix well. You can add the cheese last and sprinkle on top if you prefer.
Pour in each mini muffin tin 3/4 of the way. They will bubble and rise past the top in the oven, but will flatten out once you take it out. Let cool for 5-10 minutes. Spoon them out and serve.
Hope you like these super cute mini egg bites as much my kids and I did.
