Low-Carb Spinach & Mushroom Egg Bites (Keto-Friendly!)
I've been playing around with egg bites for a while now, and I've come up with a few fun flavors to change it up from week to week. Yes, homemade egg bites are generally in my personal regular rotation for one of my usual breakfast options. They are ridiculously easy to make, taste great, and are perfect for meal prepping. Did I mention they're also low-carb, gluten-free, and keto-friendly? Yep! All that too.
This time around, I decided to go with a spinach and mushroom style egg bite. To be honest, I wasn't too sure how well they would turn out since both spinach and mushrooms tend to have a pretty high amount of water in them. But, it ended up working out super well!
I cooked the spinach and mushrooms ahead of time to get them to release all that natural water from them and then loaded the veggies into the base of a silicone egg mold. Whip some eggs and cheeses together and put it all together in the instant pot and BOOM. A breakfast of champions.
Mine were topped off with just a little dollop of spinach pesto to give a little bonus color and pop of bright flavor since egg bites can be pretty rich. All in all, all of the homemade egg bites beat out the ones you can buy elsewhere, hands down. No questions asked.They're bigger, fluffier, and have WAY more flavor.
Another thing I love about these is that since they're cooked in the pressure cooker, they're summer-friendly and won't heat up the house too much. That's always a big concern of mine around this time of year when it starts to teeter around the triple digits here in Texas.
If you aren't looking for these to be keto-friendly, you could probably get away with using reduced fat cheeses, but you will not want to swap out the cream since that's what really helps these bad boys fluff up!
