Ingredients and substitutions
- Cooking spray – you can also use butter, avocado oil or olive oil
- Turkey bacon – turkey bacon is a leaner option but you can use any bacon of your choice.
- Egg whites – separate the egg white from the yolk or buy carton egg whites
- Italian seasoning – if you don’t have Italian seasoning use a blend of all or some of these spices: basil, marjoram, oregano, rosemary and thyme.
- Sea salt (to taste)
- Red pepper – use any bell pepper colour of your choice. If you’re not a fan of peppers, customize with any vegetable you’d like.
- Red onion – white onion, yellow onion or shallots will also work.
- Kale – spinach is a great alternative to kale for this recipe.
- Mozzarella cheese – use any shredded cheese blend of your choice.
Storing and reheating
Make these delicious egg bites ahead of time and store them in the fridge for your breakfast for the week! Once they've cooled down, transfer them from the egg tray to an airtight container for up to one week. To reheat, take the portion you'd like to eat and warm it up in the microwave for 1-2 minutes.
Freezing egg cups
The best part of these egg cups are that they're freezer-friendly! To freeze the egg cups, wait for them to cool down and then pack them in glass bowls or large freezer Ziploc bags. When you're ready to eat them you can reheat them in the microwave straight from frozen for 4-5 minutes.

Hey Taylor! Thanks for another great recipe! Out of curiosity – would you happen to know the calorie count for both egg whites only and using the whole egg? Thanks!
Taylor Stinson says
Hey Tiffany! Thanks so much, I’m so happy they turned out for you 🙂 According to my quick calculations, assuming you were substituting the egg whites for whole eggs, you would use 10 large eggs instead of two cups of egg whites. Doing so would add 72 extra calories to the nutritional info you see above, so you would be looking at about 375 calories with whole eggs instead of 303 with egg whites. Hope this helps 🙂
