Back with another delicious egg bites recipe for you guys!  My love for egg bites is getting pretty serious here, y’all – this is recipe number four. My sister is my official egg bites taste tester and she says this one is her favorite.  Her favorite so far, anyway, because ya know…. there WILL be more!  I took the filling from a traditional Denver omelet and loaded up these delicious little bites.  They’re full of sauteed peppers, onions, diced ham, and cheese.  YUM!  One batch entire batch (7 egg bites) is 4 Blue WW SmartPoints or 8 Green WW SmartPoints and 375 calories.

In case you guys missed it in my previous recipes, if you don’t own an Instant Pot you can totally make these babies on the stove top. #GameChanger.  The texture of the stove top egg bites is nearly identical to the ones you make in the Instant Pot.  The insides are soft and silky annnd it’s even quicker to make them this way.  Wiiiinnnning, win, win, winning. For either method, all you need is a steam rack and a silicon mold.

To make my Denver Omelet Egg Bites the first order if business is taking care of the veggies.  I always have a bag of peppers and onions hanging out in the freezer because they’re perfect for bulking up eggs, tacos, topping pizzas, or even starting a pot of soup.  Anyway, that’s what I used here! We put 1/2 cup in a skillet coated with cooking spray and saute until tender.  Divide the veggies between the molds and top with diced ham.

We add the rest of our ingredients into a blender and quickly blend until light and frothy.  For this recipe I used 2 eggs, 2 egg whites, almond milk, and shredded cheese.  If you happen to be dairy free you can omit the cheese and replace it with 1 oz of non-dairy cream cheese (such as Kite Hill).  We pour the blended mixture into the molds and all that’s left to do is cook!  The whole process takes just a couple of minutes. Easy peasy.

To Cook in Instant Pot

To cook these in an Instant Pot you’ll want to add 1 cup of water into the bottom of the pot and then place the filled mold (covered with foil) onto a steam rack.  Select the steam setting and cook for 8 minutes.  Allow the pot to naturally release pressure for 10 minutes and then release any remaining pressure.

To Cook on Stove Top

To cook these on the stove top you’ll need a pan large enough to fit the steam rack and silicon mold.  Place enough water in the bottom of the pot so that it comes just to the bottom of the steam rack.  Bring the water to a boil and then gently lower the steam rack and mold into the pot.  Cover, reduce heat to a low boil, and steam for 10 minutes.  Turn heat off and allow to sit for 5 minutes.

All done!  I love to serve these with some fresh fruit and a batch of my Air Fryer Potatoes.

Enjoy! One entire batch (7 egg bites) is 4 Blue WW SmartPoints or 8 Green WW SmartPoints and 375 calories.

I guess it’s safe to say that I’m a little bit, errr, more like A LOT a bit, obsessed with egg bites these days.  They’re an easy and filling breakfast and I just can’t get over the creamy texture in the middle.  Oh so good!  I wanted to turn one of my favorite omelets into an egg bite recipe and boy, it did not disappoint.  These Southwest Egg Bites are loaded with sausage, black beans, peppers, and onions and I’m pretty sure they’ll be one of your favorites!  I topped mine with some of my Zero Point Blender Salsa and it was legit the perfect combo.  One entire batch of these Southwest Egg Bites is 2 Blue WW SmartPoints or 7 Green WW SmartPoints.

If you missed it in my previous egg bites recipes, I figured out an easy way you can make egg bites on the stove top.  The texture is nearly identical to the instant pot version and they’re even quicker to make!  I am usually making mine on the stove top these days just for the ease of it.  For either method, all you need is a steam rack and a silicon mold.

Here’s a rundown on how we’re gonna make these Southwest Egg Bites: First we start by sauteing up some peppers and onions.  I always have a bag of frozen peppers and onions hanging out in my freezer so that’s what I used.  Once they’re nice and tender we divide them between our silicon molds and add in some crumbled sausage and black beans. (Feel free to leave out the sausage for a vegetarian-friendly version!)

We add the rest of our ingredients into a blender and quickly blend until light and frothy.  For this recipe I used 2 eggs, 2 egg whites, almond milk, and spreadable pepper jack cheese.  If you happen to be dairy free you can omit the pepper jack cheese and replace it with 1 oz of non-dairy cream cheese (such as Kite Hill).  We pour the blended mixture into the molds and all that’s left to do is cook!  The whole process takes just a couple of minutes.

To Cook in Instant Pot

To cook these in an Instant Pot you’ll want to add 1 cup of water into the bottom of the pot and then place the filled mold (covered with foil) onto a steam rack.  Select the steam setting and cook for 8 minutes.  Allow the pot to naturally release pressure for 10 minutes and then release any remaining pressure.

Voila! All done! You can enjoy these on their own or top them with whatever sounds good.  Here are a few of my favorite toppings:

• extra shredded cheese
• Zero Point Blender Salsa
• avocado
• sour cream or Greek yogurt
• cilantro
• Zero Point Quick Pickled Onions
• hot sauce

Enjoy! One entire batch (7 egg bites) is 2 Blue WW SmartPoints or 7 Green WW SmartPoints.

You guys!!  I’ve been experimenting with different flavors of egg bites lately and this one is my NEW favorite.  These little babies are filling and delicious, plus they are simple to make!  It just so happens that I’ve also perfected how to make these on a stove top – no instant pot required! We’ll get to that in a bit, but first, back to this combo.  The bites are loaded with flavorful ham, broccoli, and Swiss cheese.  The eggs themselves have a soft and creamy texture from the steam cooking.  If you haven’t made your own egg bites yet, THIS is the recipe to start with.  Makes 7 egg bites at 3 Blue WW SmartPoints and 7 Green WW SmartPoints or 360 calories for the entire batch.

Alright, let’s talk about how we’re gonna make these heavenly little bites.  All you need is a steam rack and a silicon mold.  You can choose to make these in an Instant Pot OR on top of the stove – both methods are equally delicious!  To be honest, I’ve been using the stove-top method more often because it doesn’t require lugging out my Instant Pot and you don’t have to wait as long for the pot to heat up.  Juuuust saying.

We start by spraying the silicon molds with a little cooking spray and adding in our chopped broccoli and diced ham.  We add the rest of our ingredients into a blender and quickly blend until light and frothy.  For this recipe I used 2 eggs, 2 egg whites, almond milk, and spreadable Swiss cheese.  If you happen to be dairy free you can omit the Swiss cheese and replace it with 1 oz of non-dairy cream cheese (such as Kite Hill).  We pour the blended mixture into the molds and all that’s left to do is cook!  The whole process takes just a couple of minutes.

To Cook in Instant Pot

To cook these in an Instant Pot you’ll want to add 1 cup of water into the bottom of the pot and then place the filled mold (covered with foil) onto a steam rack.  Select the steam setting and cook for 8 minutes.  Allow the pot to naturally release pressure for 10 minutes and then release any remaining pressure.

Give these a try and let me know what you think!  My recipe for Broccoli, Ham, & Cheese Egg Bites makes 7 egg bites at 3 Blue WW SmartPoints and 7 Green WW SmartPoint or 360 calories for the entire batch.  Enjoy!

The post Broccoli, Ham, & Cheese Egg Bites appeared first on .

Y’all, I got an Instant Pot for Christmas which means I’m a super-official, card-carrying-member of the cool kids club now.  I guess!?  Although I felt a little intimated trying figure out how to work the thing, and at the whole responsibility of not blowing my kitchen up, I knew EXACTLY what my first recipe would be with my shiny new kitchen toy: EGG BITES!  I’m a lot obsessed with Starbucks Sous Vide Egg Bites and if you’ve ever had them, you understand why.  They are soft, silky, heavenly little egg cups.  Kinda magical if you’ve never had a sous vide egg before.  And if you’ve had them then you also, unfortunately, know that despite being delicious they’re kinda small, not all that filling, and pretty darn pricey.  Hence the need to make my own!  My Instant Pot Bacon & Cheese Egg Bites are 4 Blue WW SmartPoints and 8 Green WW SmartPoints + 350 calorites for all 7 bites (or 50 calories each)!! #PointsBargain!

Sooo… even though these were the first thing I wanted to make with my Instant Pot, I actually figured I better learn how to use it first.  I test drove it on some boiled eggs.  Mind blown at how quick and easy it was.  Sadly my attempt at egg bites didn’t go so well…. I guess there’s a learning curve or something.  While my first few batches of egg bites tasted great I had trouble getting them to hold together.  No worries though, I fiiiinally perfected it and I’m excited to share this simple recipe with you.  Now, if you don’t have an Instant Pot, fear not, I’ve still got you covered.  Check the recipes notes for details on how you can make egg bites on the stove top (aka what I used to do before Christmas!)

Let’s get to the recipe, shall we?  Aside from the creamy texture, the best thing about these egg bites is that they’re packed with protein, yummy cheese, and flavorful bacon.  PLUS  you can eat way more than the little ol’ Starbucks serving.  I’ve created a version with bacon and cheese they couldn’t be easier to make.

Into a blender we add eggs, egg whites, cottage cheese, and mozzarella.  Blend well, until the mixture is smooth and frothy.   We pour the mixture into our Instant Pot mold that’s already filled with some crumbled bacon and then we cook.  That’s it – takes just a couple of minutes to prepare!

You have to give these a try and let me know what you think!  Keep your eyes peeled for more egg bite recipes because I’ve got a few more flavor combos in mind that I’m dying to make.  My Bacon & Cheese Egg Bites recipe makes 7 bites at 4 Blue WW SmartPoints and 8 Green WW SmartPoints or 350 calories. Enjoy!

PS: I usually divide my egg bites into two servings and save half for breakfast to go the following day!  Simply reheat for 15-30 seconds.

Notes

Makes 7 Instant Pot Bacon & Cheese Egg Bites - the entire recipe is 4 Blue WW SmartPoints or 8 Green WW SmartPoints total.

*Do not use egg or egg whites from a carton - the bites will have too much moisture and will not set correctly.

Blue WW SmartPoints Breakdown: ½ cup lowfat cottage cheese (2sp), 1 oz lite mozzarella (1sp), 1 piece bacon (1sp), everything else (0sp) = 4 points for the entire recipe.

To Make Dairy Free: replace the cottage cheese with ⅓ c. unsweetened almond milk (0sp) + replace the shredded cheese with 1 oz dairy free cream cheese (2sp - such as Kite Hill). This would make the entire recipe 3 points.

To Freeze: Freeze in a single layer on a tray. Once frozen, store in ziplock bag or container. To reheat place egg bites on a paper towel lined plate and heat in microwave 30-45 seconds, until hot.
