My Bite Recipes

So if you don't know about The World According to Eggface (http://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com/) you should head on over there.  She makes these "bites" that are like crustless quiches or frittatas in bit size form.  She has many many of them listed on her site, so head on over and peruse.  

Today I decided to go out on my own and use her basic ideas but make my own and I did 2 different ones, so I had easy lunches and snacks for the week.  Some of these may be a little high on carbs if you are just starting out so watch that!

TACO Bites

1 cup ground turkey cooked (I cook a large batch with just a pinch of salt and pepper to taste so that I can make multiple bite recipes out of it)

1/2 cup of salsa (whatever type you like) drained to get as much fluid off of it as possible

1 cup 2% shredded mexican blend cheese

1 tsp taco seasoning (or make your own for less sodium!)

5 eggs

Add everything but the egg, and mix.  Beat eggs separately then add to mixture.  Spoon mixture into a mini muffin tin, should make 24.  Cook at 350 for 30 min. (though it only takes 25 in my oven).  I then serve it with Fage 0% in stead of sour cream.  YUMMY!

"Pasta" Bites

1 cup cooked ground turkey

1/2  onion diced

1 julienned carrot (leave this out if you're watching carbs)

1 can diced tomatoes (I like using the basil seasoned ones) make sure to DRAIN

1 tsp italian seasoning

1 cup 2% shredded mozzarella

5 eggs

Add onion carrot and spice to a pan and saute until onion is translucent then add to ground turkey in a bow and add cheese.  Beat eggs and add to mixture and follow same instructions above.  I serve with a bit of marinara for dipping but they are fine on their own as well.

These keep well for days in the fridge and make excellent go to snacks and lunch.  Anyway hope it gives you some ideas of ways you can play with her recipe base and have some fun!

Thanks for the website link!  Love the little bites, so buying myself a mini muffin pan, if I do not have one at home already.  I might, too many things in my kitchen cupboards I guess.  I love making stuff ahead and freezing them for later meals!  These will be perfect for that!

Taco bites sound great! Thanks for the idea! I like the turkey bacon bites :) 

Thank you so much! These sound wonderful, and I have copied/paste into my collection of OH recipes...can't have for a month, but I definitely will be making these!
