Whether you are looking for a healthy grab and go breakfast or desperately in need of a new breakfast idea for your little one, these Eggsellent Breakfast Bites are the perfect solution. This is an easy recipe for meal prepping and will make your mornings so much smoother. I used to make Micah scrambled eggs every morning…after a while, it was kind of a pain. Scrambled eggs are messy and would usually end up all over my kitchen floor, so I thought to myself, why don’t I try little egg bites instead! I made these a few years ago when I was dieting and they were a great make-ahead breakfast. I especially like these, because they are easier for him to hold, that means less mess for me to clean up. So far, he seems to really enjoy these.
This recipe will make 12 Breakfast Bites. Micah usually eats 2-3 per day. These will last for up to 5 days in the fridge. This recipe is also great if your little one isn’t a big fan of veggies. I pack my Breakfast Bites with a lot of veggies, and as long as I have a nice balance of cheese and turkey bacon he doesn’t even notice he’s eating them.
I have fun every time I make this recipe because I can be resourceful and creative! Do you have leftover broccoli, mushrooms, spinach or even shredded carrots in the fridge? Throw it into the mixture and bake!
Have fun with it.
