Mediterranean egg bites (gluten-free and dairy-free)

Mediterranean egg bites (gluten-free and dairy-free)

Today I’m sharing a dairy-free and gluten-free recipe for Mediterranean egg bites. Try this as a high-protein meal prep option!

Hey hey! How’s the week going? I hope you’re having a great one so far! It’s been busy as usual – but I’m looking forward to some weekend fun with the crew. 🙂

Mediterranean egg bites (gluten-free and dairy-free)

For today’s post, I’m so excited to share a recipe that we’ve all been enjoying lately: Mediterranean egg bites. I made a batch as part of meal prep and they made amazing quick breakfast and lunchtime staples. (I also love them in a Siete almond flour tortilla!) In addition, they freeze beautifully and the kids love them, too.

(I would be happy to say that Maisey didn’t try any of these, but she might have stolen one or four from the countertop.)

When I have a savory and protein-packed breakfast, I feel more satisfied throughout the morning and don’t feel like I crave sweets or sugar as much throughout the day. In fact, this is a great meal idea for metabolic flexibility. And you could just enjoy the egg bites first before heading into fruit or oatmeal as a full breakfast.

 Mediterranean Egg Bites -Gluten-Free and Dairy-Free

Ingredients:

– 3 cloves of minced garlic

– 1/2 sweet onion, chopped

– 2 handfuls of fresh spinach

– 6 whole eggs

– 1/4 cup almond milk

– 1/4 cup gluten-free all-purpose baking flour

– 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

– 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

– 1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped

– 1/3 cup kalamata olives

– 1/3 cup grated vegan parmesan (I LOVE Violife)

– Avocado oil for greasing the muffin tins

Instructions:

Step 1:

Preheat the oven to 350 and then grease a 12-standard muffin tin with avocado oil.

Step 2:

In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and then gently stir in the remaining ingredients.

Step 3:

Evenly distribute the mix into the 12 muffin spots in the pan. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown and set.

Step 4:

Cool completely before serving, otherwise they get stuck in the muffin tin.

Tips for Freezing Egg Muffins

– Make sure to let them cool completely before freezing. Once they reach room temperature, gently remove them from the muffin tin and place into a resealable Ziploc bag before freezing.

– To reheat, just pop them onto a glass plate and then microwave for about 20 seconds.

How to Customize Egg Bites

– This recipe is super flexible and so easy to customize depending on your family’s preferences.

– Then feel free to add in basil, mushrooms, broccoli, bell peppers, or anything you like! Just make sure that you have 2/3 cup add-in ingredients – otherwise, the egg-to-add-in ratio will be off.

– If you don’t have parmesan and want to use another cheese, try adding in 1/3 cup feta. I didn’t use the Violife feta in this recipe before it tends to get a little watery when it bakes.

Another tip:

You CAN use muffin tin liners but I find that with egg bites, it tends to make them a little soggy. The best method I’ve tried is to use a greased muffin tin and let them cool before serving.

So here’s the full recipe if you’d like to give them a whirl!

Discover The World’s Smallest “Mountain” – The Mount Paltry

Discover The World’s Smallest “Mountain” – The Mount Paltry Move over Everest, there’s a new headline-grabber in town and it’s barely taller than you are. Mount Paltry has exploded on social media as the world’s smallest mountain , a tiny bump in Australia that has become internet-famous precisely because it looks… well, not very mountain-like at all. In a world obsessed with extreme hikes and record-breaking peaks, this modest mound has captured global attention by doing the exact opposite: being proudly underwhelming. Where on Earth Is Mount Paltry? Mount Paltry is described in viral posts as a miniature mountain in Australia, rising only a few metres above the surrounding land. It’s usually shown as a small, rounded rise in an otherwise flat landscape the kind of bump you might expect to call a hill, or even “just a bit of ground,” rather than a mountain. That’s exactly why people love it: the contrast between the dramatic title “world’s smallest mountain” and the very ordinar...

Glamorous Plus-Size Wedding Guest Dresses in Beautiful Styles

Glamorous Plus-Size Wedding Guest Dresses in Beautiful Styles Did you know that over 67% of women in the U.S. wear a size 14 or larger? Yet, despite the demand, the fashion industry has been slow to provide elegant, well-fitting, and on-trend plus- size wedding guest dresses. Many women face limited choices, ill-fitting designs, and outdated silhouettes that fail to highlight their curves. Shopping for the perfect dress can feel like navigating a minefield either the options lack style, the fit is off, or the available dresses don’t align with the formality of the event. For years, plus-size women have been told to “hide” their curves instead of celebrating them. Traditional formalwear often lacks the structure, comfort, or aesthetic appeal needed to make plus-size wedding guests feel just as glamorous as their straight-size counterparts. The frustration of sifting through uninspiring racks, struggling with restrictive fabrics, or settling for ill- proportioned designs is all too fami...
