Don’t skip breakfast when you have these high protein egg bites that will have you ready to take on the day! They’re quick, easy to make, and perfect for making ahead so you have an on-the-go breakfast all week; but most importantly, they’re absolutely delicious.
The internet is full of high protein recipe alternatives that promise they’re just as good, only to be a letdown when you take a bite. Not here! These bites are the same fluffy and cheesy mini version of a delicious breakfast casserole, made smaller and convenient and also maximizing healthy and tasty protein.
It’s a blend of whole eggs for that eggy breakfast classic flavor but mixed with plenty of egg white for a leaner and lower cholesterol final bite. This combined with the classic veggies like peppers, onion, and spinach bring the fresh flavor, nutrients, and satisfying crunch.
But the real star of the recipe is the Halal turkey bacon mixed in. It’s key for providing that savory and smoky bacon flavor that makes these bites pop, but in a leaner turkey bacon. I love these bites AND your heart will thank you for enjoying a tasty and lean low-fat breakfast.
I think what really gives “high protein recipes” a bad name is that people try to swear up and down that replacing a key ingredient with cottage cheese is “just as good as the original!” and we know it isn’t. Cottage cheese, while healthy and tasty in its own right, is a muted flavor, so replacing something else with it can sacrifice flavor.
These bites do incorporate cottage cheese, but worry not, it isn’t replacing anything. It’s just a little scoop into the mixture for a protein boost and some cottage cheese mixed in. There’s still plenty of egg, veggies, and melty cheese in these bites to bring the flavor!
This is a great recipe to make the Sunday before the work week and doesn’t take much to complete. Just pan fry the veggies and turkey bacon, mix them in the egg blend, then pour this mixture into a nonstick muffin sheet, filling each cup about three quarters full. These will rise in the oven, so leave yourself a little room.
Pop them into the oven for a quick bake, then they’re ready to go when you can insert a knife into the center and it comes out without leaving uncooked egg behind. This recipe makes a ton of these bites, so it’s perfect to keep in the fridge or freezer for you and the whole family to heat up for a quick breakfast.
I say it all the time, but this recipe is the complete package! It’s a simple and super convenient way to get an important meal you really shouldn’t skip to be ready for the rest of the day. And above all, they’re lean, healthy, and full of protein to keep you full and hold you over until lunchtime and they taste amazing.
These egg bites do it all, but don’t take my word for it, try these for yourself. Share them with a fellow breakfast lover and let us know what you think or what you did differently to make them even better.
