Our staffers are always excited when we spot new breakfast options in the freezer aisle, especially when these foods are meat-free. Freezer aisles are loaded with lunch and dinner options, but breakfast foods are a lot harder to come by. So we were hopeful that the Life Cuisine Tomato & Spinach Egg White Egg Bites would be a tasty treat that we could add to our breakfast rotation.
Like virtually all of the Lean Cuisine foods we’ve enjoyed in the past, heating these eggs took almost no effort on our part. We transferred the frozen eggs to a plate and tossed them in the microwave for 2 minutes, as recommended on the package instructions. Our egg bites were still slightly cool in the middle when we took them out of the microwave, so we flipped them over and cooked them for 30 seconds more.
As you can see in the image below, these egg bites look a little bit odd. We weren’t totally put off by the odd shape; we thought it looked a little like a savory flan. However, after we took our first bite, we knew that these weren’t for us. These egg bites aren’t very big, but our staffers couldn’t even finish the entire package.
These breakfast bites have a strange consistency to them that doesn’t feel that much like an egg. One staffer reported that they tasted like low-quality cheese. Another staffer though they tasted like soap. We’ve had amazing frozen breakfast foods before, but these egg bites live up to every bad stereotype about microwaved eggs. They’re not appetizing, and they don’t even taste much like food.
The Life Cuisine Tomato & Spinach Egg White Egg Bites are a hard pass from us. If you’re trying to reduce your carb intake, and you like the convenience of frozen foods, there are much, much better options out there. We’d rather skip breakfast entirely than eat these egg bites in the morning.
