Do you love your cake pop maker but regret that you can only use it to feed your kids (or yourself!) sugary treats? If so, you'll love these Cake Pop Maker Spinach & Mozza Egg Bites.
It's fun to try something savory in the cake pop maker rather than sweet once in a while. You can also make savory pizza balls and meatballs in a cake pop maker.
This recipe lets you take advantage of all the labor-saving convenience of your cake pop maker to make these protein and veggie-packed snacks that adults and children alike will gobble up.
These egg bites are equally great as a green, savory breakfast, an after-school snack and an appetizer for a dinner party.

Ingredients
- fresh spinach leaves - I like to use regular spinach vs. baby spinach for this recipe because it stands up better to heat.
- mozzarella cheese - You could also try a cheddar if you have that on hand and prefer the sharpness.
- fresh dill - You'll want to chop the dill nice and finely for this recipe.
- Thai red chili pepper - This is totally optional, for a little heat.
- Greek yogurt - Greek yogurt is thick and creamy, making it perfect as a dip for the egg bites.
- lemon juice - Freshly squeezed is always best.
*Check recipe card for ingredient amounts.
Recipe Tweaks
- If your kids turn their noses up at spicy food, feel free to omit the chili pepper.
- On the other hand, if you love spice, give your bites an extra kick by adding a dash of your favorite hot sauce and a teaspoon of smoked paprika to the yogurt sauce.
- If you're feeling creative, try adding a few more fillings to the recipe-anything you like to use as a filling for omelets will work great here. Some ideas to get you started: toss some cubed bell pepper or crumbled bacon in your bites for a fun twist.
How to Make Egg Bites in a Cake Pop Maker
- Pulse. Add all of the egg bite ingredients to a blender or food processor and pulse until smooth.
- Bake. Lightly oil the cake pop maker cooking plates. Plug it in to preheat it. Pour the mixture into the cake pop maker cavities, close the lid and bake for 4-6 minutes or until golden and cooked through. I like to use a small spatula to remove them because the cake pop maker gets hot. Let them cool a few minutes.
- Make the sauce. Mix all of the sauce ingredients together.
- Serve. Serve the egg bites with the yogurt sauce and more fresh dill if desired.
Spinach & Mozzarella Egg Bites Storage
- Refrigerate: Want to make some egg bites ahead of time or store any leftovers? Not a problem-store the egg bites covered in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- Freeze: They also freeze and reheat really well. Just let them cool in the refrigerator, wrap each bite individually in plastic wrap, pop them in a zip-top bag and freeze for up to three months.
- Reheat: When you're ready to serve the bites, microwave from frozen or from the fridge for 30 second intervals, until heated through (remember to take off the plastic wrap first).
