Ingredients
Scale
6 large eggs
1/4 cup milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or your favorite)
1/2 cup cooked and crumbled bacon or diced ham (optional)
1/2 cup finely chopped vegetables (spinach, bell peppers, onions, mushrooms)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin well or line with silicone muffin liners.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
Stir in the shredded cheese, cooked meat (if using), and chopped vegetables.
Pour the egg mixture evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the egg bites are set and lightly golden. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
Let the egg bites cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before removing them.
Notes
For fluffier egg bites, ensure your eggs are at room temperature before whisking.
To prevent a rubbery texture, avoid overbaking. The residual heat will continue to cook them after removal from the oven.
These egg bites are excellent for meal planning and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
For freezing, let the egg bites cool completely, then wrap them individually or store them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months.
To reheat, microwave individual egg bites for 30-60 seconds, or until warmed through. You can also reheat them in a 300°F (150°C) oven for about 10 minutes.
These are a great high protein breakfast option.
Consider these for keto meal plan delivery if you omit the milk or use a low-carb milk alternative.
