Turmeric-Jalapeno Egg Bites
Starbucks’ egg bites are legendary, rightfully so. They’re filling, perfect for the grab-and-go person, and decently priced. But like any fast food item, we can make it at home and save some money!
This customizable, quick, and affordable breakfast option is perfect for road trips, back to school, and the bust twenty-something that just can’t even during the morning.
I prefer using Just Egg (or any other egg substitute I have access to) instead of using animal-based eggs. HOWEVER, if you prefer to use whole eggs, or that option is the one most accessible and sffordable to you- please use it.
Everyone’s palette is different, so this recipe is very specific to the flavors that make me flip upside down. Some other combos thst would be fantastic would be (Kale and Mushrooms with some Cheese), (Feta, Red Onion, and Cucumbers), (Ham, Cheese, and Tomatoes), Etc.
Bake until golden, add your favorite condiment, and enjoy!
Turmeric-Jalapeno Egg Bites
Makes 16 egg bites
Time: 30 minutes
DIRECTIONS
Begin by preheating your 350 Fahrenheit/ 176 Celsius.
To char the jalapenos: If using a gas stove, place the jalapenos on the grate under medium-low heat. Rotate them consistently, until the skin begins to blacken. If using an electric stove, slice the jalapenos in half. Place on a baking sheet and roast in a 350 degree Fahrenheit oven and broil them for 5-6 minutes.
Once charred/blackened, place the jalapenos in a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit for 5 minutes to sweat it out. After 5 minutes, remove the charred skin with your fingers, remove the seeds, and dice the jalapenos. Set aside.
Dice your red onion and chop your herbs (dill or parsley or cilantro). Set aside
In a large bowl, add your egg substitute (or 6-7 whole eggs) and scramble. Mix in the spices (turmeric, cumin, cayenne, garlic powder, salt, and pepper). Stir in the diced jalapenos, chopped herbs, and diced red onion.
Once combined, evenly distribute the batter into a muffin tin or silicone mold. If using a silicone mold, I like to place the mold on the grates of the oven, using the empty spaces in the grate to hold the silicone mold in place.
Bake at 350 Fahrenheit/ 176 Celsius for 20-30 minutes, or until the egg bites are fully cooked through.
Serve with zhoug, harissa, or your favorite condiment. Garnish with fresh herbs, crumbled cheese, and flaky salt.
