Spinach & Mushroom Egg Bites (Muffins)


When you need a quick and easy low carb breakfast for busy mornings, this Spinach & Mushroom Egg Bites recipe will be your next go-to meal on-the-go.
Perfect for losing weight on the 17 Day Diet or 17 Day Kickstart Diet, this recipe is easy to make, simple to store for leftovers, and will keep you on track throughout the week.
This is a recipe straight out of my brand new Cycle 1 meal plan called, Delish (we’ll be using this plan for our upcoming Spring Cycle 1 Challenge).
Keep reading as I’ll let you know which cycles/phases this is approved for as well as if it’s approved for the Keto Diet.

Spinach & Mushroom Egg Bites Ingredients
This recipe is simple and uses few ingredients. Here are a few of what you’ll need to make this egg muffin recipe:
- Eggs

Ingredient Substitutions for Spinach & Egg Bites
If you’re not a fan of mushrooms or spinach, you can easily make your own recipe. Here are a few other ingredients to consider:

Which Cycle of the 17 Day Diet Is this Egg Muffin Recipe Approved For?
If you’re on the 17 Day Diet, this recipe is approved for all cycles. No changes are necessary.
However, if you want to experiment with different ingredients that are approved during Cycle 2 or 3 (such as potatoes), then obviously they will be approved later in the diet.
Which Phase of the Kickstart Diet Can I Have These Egg Bites?
If you happen to be on the 17 Day Kickstart Diet, you can have these egg bites starting on the 4-Day Soak Up Phase when eggs are allowed.
However, skip the cheese if you want these starting on Day 4. Otherwise, you’ll need to wait until The 10-Stabilize Phase when both eggs and cheese are allowed.
If you’re not entirely sure which foods are allowed during each phase, make sure you check out my 17 Day Kickstart Diet Food List.
Keto Diet Friendly Egg Muffins
These Spinach & Mushroom Egg Bites are definitely Keto Diet Friendly. Make sure you use full-fat cheese when you make these.
If you need to increase your fat intake, you can use a little bit of heavy whipping cream, too!

Silicone Baking Cups For Easy Removal of Egg Bites
There’s a good possibility that no matter how much non-stick spray you use, your egg bites may stick to your pan.
I highly recommend picking up a half dozen of these Silicone Baking Cups or even a full silicone muffin tray.


Baking Tools To Use
- Baking sheets and dishes
- Silicone muffin tins & cups
- Mitts, towels & more
