While dear hubby and I are long past rushing out the door to get the kids to school or us to jobs on time, there are still instances when we need a quick breakfast or snack on the go.

When we have leftover ham, these Denver omelet-inspired healthy cheesy egg bites are top of the list for having on hand. They are perfect for reheating for a quick breakfast or snack.

This recipe is for our favorite variation of egg bites, but you can certainly customize the flavor to suit your tastes. For instance, try filling them with your favorite pizza fillings!

Get creative and reimagine your favorite pizza toppings as fillings!

Looking for inspiration?

Make creating these egg bites a family affair. Kids (or grandkids) can have fun helping by filling the individual muffin cups with the ingredients chosen. Make them as loaded or as simple as you want.

A few ideas you might like to try are:

  • Ham and pineapple
  • Chopped sun-dried tomato and spinach
  • Pre-cooked sausage and cheddar cheese
  • Broccoli and ham
  • Chives and feta, or
  • Kid-friendly pepperoni with mozzarella or cottage cheese

How to Eat Egg Bites

Enjoy them hot from the oven, or eat after they’re cool enough to handle as you head out the door. They are also great for packing into an insulated cooler, keeping cool on ice for a quick bite after scheduled fasting labs, taking along on road trips, or serving as pre-game-time snacks for kids.

Kitchen Notes

Footnotes:
*Optional filling possibilities could include ham and pineapple, chopped sun-dried tomato and spinach, chives and feta, or substitute kid-friendly pepperoni with mozzarella or cottage cheese. Feel free to get creative and reimagine any of your favorite pizza toppings as fillings!
[1] If making ahead, refrigerate for up to five days or freeze for up to one month.
To reheat from frozen, thaw overnight in the fridge, and remove from any wrapping. Then reheat in the microwave on high for about 90 seconds (1200 watts) or in a toaster oven or conventional oven (from frozen) for about 10-15 minutes at 375°F. Cooking times may vary depending on the appliance. Be careful not to overheat, so they don’t become rubbery.
[2] To freeze, let the egg bites cool to room temperature, remove them from the silicone cups, and wrap each egg bite individually in a square of plastic wrap. Place the wrapped portions in a large zipper freezer bag or another freezer-safe container and remove as much air as possible before sealing and freezing.

Take a peek at the behind GfreeDeliciously

Being creative, cooking, fresh veggies, the violin, decorating for holidays, sewing, hand-quilting, cowgirl boots, country music, fresh herbs in pots, blowing dandelions to the wind, walking barefoot in the grass, hanging out with eclectic interesting people, reading, writing, warm lazy summer days, and yoga!

Gluten, cilantro, mixed vegetables (the frozen kind I grew up with), negativism, rudeness, narcissism, overstaying a welcome,
not helping out, liars, promiscuity, cockiness, know-it-alls, being overly-dramatic, goal-less-ness, poor hygiene, chauvinism, lacking a sense of humor, excessive competitiveness, Laziness, horrifying spellers, people-bashing, criticism and mockery of others and their beliefs, flakiness (because flaky people are really unappealing), more swagger than substance, people who constantly manage others (those folks who think they have all the answers…)

Lambrusco, my iPad, popcorn suppers, dark chocolate, cookbooks, Almond-Rocca, historical romances, sun-bathing, weekend coffee with a good book in bed, PBS cooking shows, romantic comedies, cozy sweaters, fuzzy socks, and fragrant bubble baths with soft music and wine…

Coach | Cook | Creator | Publisher

A self-taught Gfree lifestyle expert on [most] gluten-free things, I’ve always loved cooking and creating delicious foods from scratch for myself and those I love.

My journey began when everything I thought I knew about cooking and eating suddenly changed when I discovered I was celiac. So, I re-learned how to eat, cook, and navigate through life gluten-free – trusting God and His plan for me.

I live in the Holylands of Central Wisconsin. All the recipes you’ll find here are gluten-free and inspired by the people and places I love most. Whenever possible, I cook with seasonal ingredients using fresh whole foods, making dishes suitable for everyday life and bringing food lovers together at the same table. I hope my recipes, and tips can make your life a little easier.

Gfree cooking, maintaining my healthy gut, and wellness are my life. This little corner of the internet is where I share what I’ve learned—where my passion is to nourish every GfreeDeliciously!
