Ingredients
  

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup milk any type, whole milk preferred
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped vegetables bell peppers, spinach, etc.
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • diced ham or bacon optional

Equipment

  • 12-cup muffin tin
  • Large mixing bowl
  • whisk
  • Cooking spray or grease

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or butter.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and milk until well combined and slightly frothy.
  3. Season the egg mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Gently fold in shredded cheese and chopped vegetables (and optional ham or bacon) until evenly mixed throughout.
  5. Pour the mixture into prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full to allow room for rising.
  6. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and the centers are set (they should spring back when gently pressed).
  7. Allow egg bites to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before carefully removing.
  8. Serve warm immediately or store for meal prep. Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

Notes

For best results, use fresh ingredients and don't overcrowd the mixture. Stick to 2 to 3 main additions. Cut all ingredients to similar small sizes for even cooking. These egg bites reheat beautifully in the microwave (30 to 45 seconds) or oven (300°F for 10 minutes).
