๐Ÿ’š Tips from The Gluten Free Oven

  • Cooking for a crowd? Simply multiply the ingredients by the number of servings you need. For example, use 6 eggs to make approximately 12 omelette bites, making this recipe perfect for family breakfasts or brunch gatherings.
  • Mix and match your fillings. This recipe is a great way to use up small amounts of leftover vegetables, cooked meats, or cheese you already have on hand.
  • Meal prep made easy. Make a larger batch at the beginning of the week for quick, protein-packed breakfasts that are ready to reheat in minutes.
  • No egg poacher? If you don’t have an egg poacher, the mixture can also be cooked in lightly greased silicone muffin cups using a muffin tin in the oven until set.

๐ŸŒฟ Make It Your Own

  • Add more protein: Stir in cooked diced ham, crumbled bacon, cooked sausage, or shredded chicken.
  • Try different vegetables: Bell peppers, zucchini, tomatoes, broccoli, or kale all work well.
  • Switch the cheese: Mozzarella, Swiss, Monterey Jack, feta, or goat cheese are delicious alternatives.
  • Add herbs: Fresh parsley, chives, dill, or basil add wonderful flavor.
  • Make them dairy-free: Omit the cheese or use your favorite dairy-free alternative.

โญ Perfect Pairings

Complete your meal with:

  • Fresh fruit
  • Gluten-free toast
  • Hash browns or breakfast potatoes
  • A side of sliced avocado
  • Yogurt with berries for a complete breakfast

How to Make Perfect Egg Bites Every Time

One of the secrets to light, fluffy egg bites is to avoid overfilling the poaching cups. Eggs expand slightly as they cook, so filling each cup about three-quarters full gives them room to puff up without overflowing.

For the best texture, chop vegetables into small, evenly sized pieces. Smaller pieces cook more quickly and distribute evenly throughout the egg mixture, ensuring every bite is packed with flavour.

If your poaching cups aren’t naturally non-stick, lightly grease them with cooking spray or a small amount of butter before adding the egg mixture. This makes removing the cooked egg bites much easier and helps them keep their shape.


๐Ÿฅก Storage

Refriderator: Store cooled omelette bites in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Freezer: Freeze individually wrapped omelette bites for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.

Reheating: Microwave for 20โ€“30 seconds or warm gently in a covered skillet over low heat.
