Egg bites are a delicious and convenient way to get some protein in the morning. These ones provide an extra nutrition boost with antioxidant-rich sweet potato and spinach! Using grated sweet potato ensures all the ingredients cook evenly during the cooking time. Once you’ve made these—and tasted their goodness—they’ll become an easy addition to your breakfast repertoire.
Reheat and repeat
While these egg bites go together in a minute, you can also make them ahead, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator, and reheat when you’re ready to eat them. Five minutes in the air fryer on the reheat setting at 325 F will do it nicely. Or place them on a baking sheet and heat them under the broiler for about 2 minutes.
- In small bowl, combine salt, pepper, and paprika and set aside.
- Grease 6 cups of a muffin tin.
- In large bowl, beat eggs and yogurt together with half of spice mixture. The yogurt will be a bit lumpy at first; using a balloon whisk will help to smooth it out.
- Combine remaining spice mixture with grated sweet potato and divide among the 6 greased muffin cups. Top grated sweet potato with small amount of chopped spinach and spring onion. Pour egg mixture into the muffin cups overtop these ingredients.
- Bake at 350 F for 18 to 20 minutes.
