- 10 eggs large room temperature
- ½ cup milk or cream choose whole milk or heavy cream for a richer texture
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese or cheese of choice
- ½ cup chopped vegetables of your choice bell peppers tomatoes onions work well
- ½ cup cooked crumbled bacon or sausage optional for added flavor
- ½ cup chopped turkey optional
- Salt and pepper to taste for seasoning
- Non-stick cooking spray for greasing the muffin tin
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Generously spray a muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray to prevent the egg bites from sticking.
Chop up any vegetables you plan on using and pre-cook bacon (if using) and chop it into pieces.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk or cream, salt, and pepper. Whisk until the yolks and whites are fully combined and the mixture is slightly frothy.
Place a handful of the chopped veggies, meat, and a bit of cheese into each cavity of the muffin tin.
Carefully pour or spoon the egg mixture into the muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ of the way full.
Use a fork to stir each muffin cavity to ensure the ingredients are well mixed into the egg mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-18 minutes, or until the egg bites are set in the middle and slightly golden on top.
Let the egg bites cool for a few minutes before using a butter knife or spatula to gently loosen and remove them from the tin.
Serve the egg bites warm. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or frozen for up to 2 months. Reheat in the microwave for 10 seconds when ready to eat.
These egg bites are a protein-packed breakfast that you can prepare ahead of time, making them perfect for busy mornings. Customize them with your favorite veggies and proteins to suit your tastes.
