Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture

10 Small Eggs
1 tablespoon Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
2 cups Frozen Spinach
2 cloves Garlic, minced
Sea Salt, to taste
Ground Black Pepper, to taste

Toppings

1/2 cup No Sugar Added Marinara Sauce
1/2 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
12 slices Turkey Pepperoni

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners to prepare for the egg bites.
Cook Spinach and Garlic: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the extra-virgin olive oil, frozen spinach, and minced garlic. Cook for about 5 minutes until the spinach is heated through and garlic is fragrant. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
Mix Eggs and Spinach: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sea salt, and ground black pepper. Stir in the cooled spinach and garlic mixture until combined.
Fill Muffin Tin: Evenly pour the egg mixture into the prepared muffin liners, filling each about three-quarters full.
Bake First Stage: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes, allowing the eggs to set partially.
Add Toppings: Remove the muffin tin from the oven and top each egg muffin with a spoonful of marinara sauce, a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella cheese, and one slice of turkey pepperoni.
Bake Second Stage: Return the muffin tin to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the eggs are fully cooked and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve or Store: Enjoy the egg bites immediately or let them cool and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Notes

For a vegetarian version, omit the turkey pepperoni or substitute with a veggie alternative.
Make sure the spinach mixture is cooled before adding to the eggs to prevent cooking the eggs prematurely.
These egg bites can be reheated in the microwave for about 30-60 seconds.
You can customize toppings with other low-fat cheeses or vegetables.
Use silicone muffin liners or grease the pan for easier removal of egg bites.
