These SPINACH, EGG, AND CHEESE BREAKFAST BITES are such an easy breakfast and are a great meal when you are on the go!
I’m not a huge breakfast person. In fact, if I had it my way, I would eat cereal every morning and be totally happy about it. Buuut, that doesn’t get me very far in a day. I try to work out immediately after breakfast and I can tell when I ate cereal that day, versus when I ate something filling and substantial. Basically, my workout rocks on days when I eat something real. Cue these Spinach, Egg, and Cheese Breakfast Bites.
I knew they would be good, but guys. I wasn’t expecting them to be as good as they are. I’ve been in an egg rut lately and the thought of eating them isn’t very appealing. As I’m typing this though, I seriously can’t wait to stuff my face full of these Spinach, Egg, and Cheese Breakfast Bites tomorrow morning.
Also, in case you were wondering, they save great in the refrigerator in a ziploc bag or tupperware to be heated up in the microwave the next day!

Generally 2.
Devyn North says
I added a little minced garlic to this and it was icing on the cake! Also sprinkled a little bacon bits on a few of them, and it was perfection! Thanks for the recipe!
Aubrey Cota says
So awesome! I love adding garlic to everything, and the bacon bits is such a great idea. Thank you, Devyn.
Shaine says
The flavor is great, but mine “deflated” when I removed them from the muffin tin. It was probably something I did wrong. Any idea? Thank you for sharing this recipe!
Aubrey Cota says
Most all egg bites will deflate upon cooling. Unless you are dealing with a small hard disc then I doubt you did anything wrong. If you are dealing with something completely hard then you would have overcooked them.

Hey, thank you for this! We are always looking for ways to live simpler and healthier, and these will improve my mornings immeasurably. I just completed my test run – the only adjustment I made was to pre-sauté two crumbled, mild, italian sausages – as a consequence I reduced the salt to about 1/8 tsp, because the sausage (while delicious) is pretty salty. I put a few little bits in the bottom of each cup, then covered with the egg, spinach, scallion and cheese mixture. I also happen to be one of those egg-loving, cheese-hating weirdos, so I reduced that by about half, using what I had on hand (pre-shredded tex-mex) and “forgot” to add the parm. 🙂 The fam loves cheese, but the chef gets to choose! Anyway, I just tasted and these are amazing! Now, if I can actually freeze and reheat these, I will be in heaven on earth! Thank you again, and happy 2019!
Aubrey Cota says
Thank you so much! They should freeze pretty well and as long as you don’t have a problem with reheated eggs I know these will be a great easy breakfast.
Lisa Tanner says
Just made these this morning and am now a HUGE fan!!! We added tomatoe/spinach/red and green peppers and they turned out so fluffy and the taste was wonderful! Made another batch to put in freezer for the week. Thank you for sharing this.
Aubrey Cota says
Awesome! Thank you, Lisa.
