Equipment note: You can use a muffin tin if baking these in the oven, or use 2.3 ounce silicone molds if making these in the Instant Pot®.- Heat oven to 350°F, lightly spray 8 wells of a muffin pan with cooking spray, and place into a large baking dish.
- In a blender combine eggs, cream, 2 ounces goat cheese, salt, garlic powder and pepper until well mixed and frothy. Add 3 tablespoons sliced white and light green portion of scallions (reserve sliced dark green portion for garnish), and frozen spinach and pulse until mixed in, but not pureed.
- Fill each muffin well with about ¼ cup of the egg mixture. Fill the baking pan with enough boiling water to come half way up the outside of the muffin pan.
- Bake until set, 23-28 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven, and the muffin tin from the pan. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before removing the egg bites from the muffin pan.
- Portion 2 egg bites along with ½ Roma tomato, sliced, ½-ounce crumbled goat cheese, and garnish of ¾ teaspoon green portion of sliced scallion for each serving. Eat while warm or refrigerate for up to 5 days. Egg bites can be warmed in the microwave for 30 seconds when ready to eat.
