Egg Bites

To make egg bites in the microwave, start by cracking 4 eggs into a bowl and whisking them until well combined. If you want to add protein, mix in a can of mackerel or sardine. Pour the mixture into microwave-safe molds or a bowl and microwave for about 2-3 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set.

Yes, egg bites are a great option for a low-carb diet. They are primarily made of eggs and can be customized with low-carb ingredients like vegetables or cheese. Just be mindful of any additional ingredients you add, such as bread or high-carb toppings.

If you prefer not to use mackerel or sardine in your egg bites, you can substitute them with cooked bacon, diced ham, or even sautéed vegetables like spinach or bell peppers for a vegetarian option. Just ensure that any substitutions are cooked before adding them to the egg mixture.

To store leftover egg bites, let them cool completely, then place them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can be stored for up to 3-4 days. For longer storage, you can freeze them, and they will last for about 2 months. Just reheat them in the microwave when you're ready to enjoy.

Egg bites pair wonderfully with a variety of beverages for sahoor. Consider serving them with a warm cup of tea, coffee, or even a refreshing glass of juice. Herbal teas or mint tea can also complement the flavors nicely, making for a satisfying pre-dawn meal.
