Ingredients
  

  • 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

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Generously spray a muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray to prevent the egg bites from sticking.
  3. Chop up any vegetables you plan on using and pre-cook bacon (if using) and chop it into pieces.
  4. 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.
  5. Place a handful of the chopped veggies, meat, and a bit of cheese into each cavity of the muffin tin.
  6. Carefully pour or spoon the egg mixture into the muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ of the way full.
  7. Use a fork to stir each muffin cavity to ensure the ingredients are well mixed into the egg mixture.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
