If you are looking for easy, healthy breakfasts, lunches or after school snacks that you can meal prep and have in your freezer ready to go, these are the perfect recipe for that! Spinach Tomato Cottage Cheese Egg Bites are a nutritious and delicious meal option perfect for babies and toddlers. These bite-sized portions are made with only 4 ingredients, by combining fresh spinach, juicy tomatoes, creamy cottage cheese, and eggs, creating a protein-packed, vitamin-rich dish that supports healthy growth and development.
The ingredients are mixed together and poured into muffin tins, then baked until they are set and lightly golden. I personally love these egg bites myself, they are kid-friendly, but great for adults as well. You can add any of your favorite veggies, it will still come out delicious. There has been so many mornings where I am in a rush, trying to get my daughter ready for school and my 1 year old is hungry, I just heat these up for both of them from the freezer, making my mornings so much easier.
The spinach provides essential vitamins like A, C, and K, while tomatoes add antioxidants and vitamin C. Cottage cheese offers a good source of calcium and protein, and eggs contribute additional protein and healthy fats. These egg bites are soft and easy for little hands to grasp, making them ideal for encouraging self-feeding. They can be served warm or cold, making them a convenient and versatile option for breakfast, lunch, or a nutritious snack. Spinach tomato cottage cheese egg bites are not only delicious but also ensure your baby gets a well-rounded and balanced meal.
What you need:
I make these in the mini muffin tin and it comes out 23 muffins, but you can make them in a bigger muffin tin and will get around 11-12 muffins
Substitutions:
Eggs: I don’t recommend substituting the eggs in this recipe
