Ingredient Notes

1 cup cooked and finely chopped spinach provides vibrant color and nutrition. Substitute with kale or Swiss chard if preferred. 2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chili paste) adds a spicy kick—use less for a milder flavor. 1 pound of eggs (about 6 large eggs) creates the base; pasture-raised eggs are a great option for quality. 1/2 cup shredded cheese (like mozzarella or cheddar) makes these bites creamy and delicious.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your broiler and prepare a baking dish with a light coating of oil.
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, spinach, gochujang, and cheese until fully combined.
  3. Step 3: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
  4. Step 4: Broil for about 10-12 minutes or until the top is golden and the eggs are set.
  5. Step 5: Allow to cool slightly before slicing into squares and serving warm.

Things I’ve Learned

Be careful not to over-broil; keep an eye on the bites to prevent burning. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. These can be reheated in the microwave or enjoyed cold. You can make the mixture ahead of time, but it’s best to broil them just before serving for the best texture.
