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 the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the egg bites evenly.
  2. Prepare Muffin Tin: Generously spray a muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the egg bites.
  3. Prep Ingredients: Chop your choice of vegetables and cook the bacon if using, then crumble it into small pieces. Chop the turkey if including it in the recipe.
  4. Mix Eggs: In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, milk or cream, salt, and pepper vigorously until yolks and whites are fully combined and slightly frothy, similar to preparing scrambled eggs.
  5. Fill Muffin Cups – Base: Place a handful of chopped vegetables, meats, and a portion of shredded cheese into each muffin cavity to create layers of flavor.
  6. Add Egg Mixture: Carefully pour or spoon the egg mixture into each muffin tin cavity, filling about 3/4 of the way full to allow room for expansion during baking.
  7. Combine Ingredients: Use a fork to gently stir each muffin cavity to mix the fillings uniformly with the egg mixture for even distribution.
  8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-18 minutes or until the egg bites are set in the center and have a slight golden color on top.
  9. Cool and Remove: Once baked, let the egg bites cool for a few minutes. Use a butter knife or spatula to gently loosen and remove them from the muffin tin carefully.
  10. Serve and Store: Serve the egg bites warm. You can store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze them for up to 2 months. Reheat in the microwave for about 10 seconds before eating.

Notes

  • Feel free to customize with your favorite vegetables or meats for different flavor profiles.
  • If avoiding dairy, substitute milk or cream with a lactose-free or plant-based alternative.
  • Ensure the egg bites are fully set before removing from the oven to prevent runny centers.
  • Use a silicone muffin tin or a well-greased metal tin for easiest removal.
  • These egg bites can be made ahead and stored for quick breakfast options during busy mornings.
