Crunchy Egg Bites are a versatile and protein-packed snack or light meal, perfect for a quick bite. These mini frittatas are baked with a mix of crumbled feta cheese, bell peppers, onions, spinach, and fresh herbs, offering a delightful blend of flavors and textures.

For a Serving Size of Two:

Ingredients:

2 eggs
20 grams crumbled feta cheese
30 grams finely chopped bell peppers
30 grams finely chopped onions
20 finely chopped spinach
1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Salt to taste
1 teaspoon olive oil

Procedure:

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a muffin tin with olive oil or use non-stick spray.
In a bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten.
Add grated cheese, chopped bell peppers, onions, spinach, fresh herbs, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Mix well.
Pour the egg mixture evenly into the muffin tin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the egg bites are set and slightly golden on top.
You can test doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
Allow the egg bites to cool in the tin for a few minutes before removing them.
Serve warm or at room temperature as a crunchy, protein-packed snack or light meal.

Nutritional Benefits:
