Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk (any kind)
- 1/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or Gruyere work well)
- 1/4 cup cooked protein (e.g., crumbled bacon, diced ham, cooked sausage)
- 1/4 cup finely chopped vegetables (e.g., spinach, bell peppers, onions, mushrooms)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Optional: Pinch of garlic powder or onion powder
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin, preferably silicone for easy removal.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined and slightly frothy. Season with salt, pepper, and any optional seasonings.
- Stir in the shredded cheese, cooked protein, and chopped vegetables. Mix gently until everything is evenly distributed.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the egg bites are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The tops should be lightly golden.
- Let the egg bites cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before carefully removing them. Serve warm.
Tips
- For the fluffiest texture, don’t overmix the egg mixture.
- Ensure your add-ins (vegetables, protein) are finely chopped and pre-cooked if necessary to ensure they cook through.
- Silicone muffin pans are highly recommended for easy release; if using a standard metal tin, ensure it’s very well-greased.
- Don’t overfill the muffin cups, as the eggs will puff up slightly while baking.
Serving Suggestions
- Enjoy these egg bites on their own for a quick breakfast or snack.
- Serve alongside a fresh green salad for a light lunch.
- Pair with a side of fruit for a balanced meal.
- They are also great to pack for on-the-go breakfasts or lunches.
Storage Tips
Store leftover egg bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently in a microwave or a toaster oven until warmed through.
