Kale and Mushroom Egg Bites

  • Author: Sarah Mendez
  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 12 egg bites 1x

Description

These Kale and Mushroom Egg Bites are a nutritious, protein-packed breakfast option made with fresh kale, hearty portobello mushrooms, and creamy eggs. Baked in a muffin tin, they’re perfect for meal prep, grab-and-go mornings, or a healthy snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (for greasing the muffin tin and flavor)
  • 5 large leaves of fresh kale, chopped
  • 3 portobello mushroom caps, diced
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 9 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup half-and-half
  • Optional: Aleppo pepper or smoked paprika, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a muffin tin with the butter.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, sauté chopped kale and diced mushrooms until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Season with half the salt and set aside to cool slightly.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, half-and-half, and the remaining salt. Add Aleppo pepper or smoked paprika if using.
  4. Evenly distribute the sautéed kale and mushrooms into the muffin cups.
  5. Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables, filling each muffin cup nearly to the top.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the egg bites are set and slightly golden on top.
  7. Let cool for a few minutes before removing from the muffin tin. Serve warm or refrigerate for later use.

Notes

  • These egg bites can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 1 month.
  • Feel free to substitute the mushrooms or kale with other veggies like spinach or bell peppers.
  • To reheat, microwave for about 30 seconds or warm in the oven at 300°F for 10 minutes.
  • You can add cheese for extra richness and flavor if desired.
