Spanakopita Egg Bites

spanakopita egg bites

There are some flavour pairings that are classics for a reason and spinach and feta is one of them. And since everyone loves spanakopita flavours and everyone loves easy make ahead breakfasts, I knew this would be perfect in an grab and go appropriate egg bite. Throw bright scallions and dried dill into the mix and you’ve got a party. You’ll wake up excited for the breakfast you prepped yourself and what an amazing feeling that is.

You know what else is pretty amazing? Working greens into breakfast, because plants! Plants are really great friends. Don't underestimate them.

I loved the texture of these, the egg + cottage cheese+ feta created a delicious salty custardy inside while of course making these a high protein morning option. I don’t love the way eggs freeze but I suppose you could if you wanted to. I prefer to make them on a Sunday or Monday and devour through the week.

I wonder if you could also line the inside of the muffin tin with a few layers of phyllo dough for more of a spanakopita experience. Please try this out and report back!

Ingredients

1 bunch spinach (wash well!)

1 bunch scallions , chopped

1 tsp dried dill

Pinch grated nutmeg

Handful chopped parsley

8 eggs

1 c cottage cheese

3oz crumbled feta

Directions

Cook down the spinach and the scallions. Strain well then add to a bowl with remaining ingredients and stir to combine. Divide into a greased muffin tin, I love my nonstick for this. Bake at 350 for about 20 minutes, until eggs are set.
