1.5 cups kale, destemmed and finely chopped
¾ cup yellow bell pepper, chopped
¾ cup tomatoes, chopped
¾ tsp dried oregano
Kosher salt
Fresh cracked black pepper

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly spray a muffin pan with evoo or avocado oil or use a silicon muffin tin.

2. Whisk eggs in a large bowl; season with salt, pepper, and oregano. Gently fold in vegetables. Use a ¼ cup measuring cup to transfer the egg mixture to the muffin tins, evenly filling the cups to the top.

3. Place the muffin tin on a baking sheet and add water to the baking sheet to allow the egg bites to steam while cooking. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until eggs are cooked throughout.

PREP-AHEAD: Batch cook these when you have time and store them in the fridge for up to 4 days.

LEFTOVERS: Steamed egg bites are also great for lunch or dinner with roasted potatoes and a simple side salad.

NOTES: Goat cheese is a great addition to the egg bites—add it before baking.
