Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture

  • 10 eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk or cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Fillings

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup chopped vegetables (bell peppers, tomatoes, onions)
  • 1/2 cup cooked crumbled bacon or sausage (optional)
  • 1/2 cup chopped turkey (optional)

Other

  • Non-stick cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the egg bites.
  2. Prepare Muffin Tin: Generously spray a muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  3. Prep Ingredients: Chop vegetables and cooked bacon or sausage if using, and chop cooked turkey.
  4. Mix Eggs: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk or cream, salt, and pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy, like scrambled eggs.
  5. Add Fillings: Place a handful of chopped veggies, meats, and a bit of shredded cheese into each muffin tin cavity.
  6. Pour Egg Mixture: Carefully pour or spoon the egg mixture into each muffin cavity, filling about 3/4 full.
  7. Combine Mixture: Use a fork to gently stir each muffin cup, mixing ingredients evenly into the egg mixture.
  8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 18 minutes, until egg bites are set in the middle and lightly golden on top.
  9. Cool and Remove: Let the egg bites cool slightly, then gently loosen and remove from the tin using a butter knife or spatula.
  10. Serve and Store: Serve warm. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in the microwave for about 10 seconds before eating.

Notes

  • Customize your egg bites with your favorite vegetables and meats or keep them vegetarian by omitting meat.
  • Using cream will give a richer, creamier texture compared to milk.
  • Ensure the egg bites are cooled slightly before removing to keep their shape intact.
  • These egg bites can be prepared ahead and reheated quickly for a convenient meal.
  • Check doneness by inserting a toothpick or knife in the center; it should come out clean.
