Introduction

These Pizza-Style Egg Bites are a fun and flavorful twist on your usual breakfast eggs. Packed with spinach, garlic, and topped with marinara, cheese, and turkey pepperoni, they’re perfect for a quick and satisfying meal any time of day.

The image shows a set of baked egg muffins with visible layers in white paper liners. Each muffin has a bottom layer of cooked eggs mixed with green leafy spinach, giving it a textured green and yellow look. Some muffins are topped with melted white cheese that looks soft and slightly stringy, while a few have an additional layer of red diced pepperoni and shredded cheese on top, adding red and white colors. The muffins are placed in a dark gray muffin pan sitting on a wooden board with a white marbled surface beneath. Around the pan, there are ingredients like three brown eggs in a blue bowl, a white plate with diced pepperoni, a small white plate holding a bitten egg muffin, and a small white bowl filled with smooth, thick red tomato sauce accompanied by a spoon. A woman's hand is seen holding a spoon in the tomato sauce bowl. Striped black and white and red and white kitchen towels add a cozy feel to the setup. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

  • 10 Small Eggs
  • 1 tablespoon Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
  • 2 cups Frozen Spinach
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • Sea Salt, to taste
  • Ground Black Pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup No Sugar Added Marinara Sauce
  • 1/2 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
  • 12 slices Turkey Pepperoni

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners.
  2. Step 2: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, add the frozen spinach and garlic, and cook until heated through, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. Step 3: In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with salt and pepper, then stir in the cooled spinach and garlic mixture.
  4. Step 4: Pour the egg mixture evenly into the prepared muffin liners and bake for 15 minutes.
  5. Step 5: Take the muffins out of the oven and top each with marinara sauce, shredded mozzarella, and turkey pepperoni slices.
  6. Step 6: Return the muffin tin to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and eggs are fully cooked.
  7. Step 7: Serve immediately, or store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

Tips & Variations

  • For a vegetarian option, skip the turkey pepperoni and add diced bell peppers or mushrooms instead.
  • Use fresh spinach if available; just sauté it until wilted before adding to the eggs.
  • Try adding Italian seasoning or red pepper flakes to the egg mixture for extra flavor.
  • Line the muffin tin with silicone liners or grease well to make removal easier.

Storage

Store any leftover egg bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, warm them in the microwave for about 30-45 seconds or until heated through. For longer storage, freeze the egg bites for up to 3 months and thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.

How to Serve

The image shows a muffin tin on a white marbled surface, filled with eight small egg muffins. Each muffin is made of a spinach and egg base with melted light yellow cheese on top, giving a textured and slightly melted look. To the left, there are two muffins outside the tin; one is plain with the same green spinach and yellow egg layers topped with cheese, while the other has an additional layer of small, bright red pieces of pepperoni and shredded white cheese, adding color contrast. Surrounding these are three brown eggs in a dark blue bowl, a small white plate with round slices of pepperoni, a small red bowl filled with smooth, thick red sauce with a spoon inside, and a striped white and black cloth next to the red bowl, plus a red-striped white cloth below the muffin tin. A fork rests inside the pepperoni-topped muffin on the white plate. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use fresh spinach instead of frozen?

Yes, fresh spinach works well. Simply sauté it until wilted before mixing it with the eggs to remove excess moisture and concentrate the flavor.

Can I make these egg bites ahead of time?

Absolutely! You can prepare them in advance and store them in the fridge for several days or freeze them for longer. Just reheat before serving.
