Spinach Bell Pepper Egg Bites:
4 whole eggs plus enough egg whites to make 2 full cups
1/2 Med Sweet Onion diced
3 cups Baby Spinaches finely diced
5 Baby Portobello Mushrooms diced
2 Medium Bell Peppers diced (I used one red, one yellow)
1 Tbs butter
*Sea Salt, Cracked Pepper and Garlic to taste
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375Β°F
Heat skillet to medium, add butter. Once butter is melted add onions & portobellos. Stir constantly until they start to soften, add bell peppers. Continue stirring until peppers start to soften. Turn off and remove from heat, let cool for 10 min. Add mixture to diced spinach and stir until blended, set aside. Season to taste with Sea Salt, garlic, cracked pepper.
In a separate bowl combine the 4 eggs & egg whites whisk until fully blended.
Spray egg bites pan or muffin pan with cooking oil of choice. Add 3 Tbs of egg mixture to each well then add one heaping tablespoon of veggie mixture to each well. Top off each well with more egg white mixture until each well is just filled to rim. Use a toothpick to stir contents carefully in each well. Place on center of center rack in oven and bake until they are puffed and cooked through, approximately 15-20 min (depending on your oven).
Cool 2 minutes, then run a knife around inside of muffin cups and remove egg bites.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
Alternatively, refrigerate egg bites in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Cover the bites with a paper towel and reheat in the microwave.
