Description

Fluffy Oven-Baked Egg Bites are a delicious, protein-rich, and beginner-friendly breakfast option. They’re customizable, freezer-friendly, and perfect for busy mornings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 10 large eggs
  • ½ cup milk or cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup chopped vegetables of your choice (bell peppers, onions, tomatoes)
  • ½ cup cooked and crumbled bacon or sausage (optional)
  • ½ cup chopped cooked turkey (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Non-stick cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin tin by generously spraying it with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Prep the Fillings: Chop all vegetables and cook any proteins you’re using. If using firm vegetables like onions or bell peppers, sauté them for 2–3 minutes until softened.
  3. Mix the Egg Base: In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs with milk or cream, salt, and pepper until well combined and slightly frothy. This creates a light texture when baked.
  4. Assemble the Bites: Evenly distribute your chopped vegetables, meat, and shredded cheese into the muffin tin cups. Fill each about halfway to leave room for the egg mixture.
  5. Add the Egg Mixture: Carefully pour the egg mixture into each muffin cup, filling each one about ¾ of the way. Use a fork to gently stir each cup so the ingredients are evenly dispersed.
  6. Bake to Perfection: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 12–18 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the egg bites to cool for 5 minutes before gently removing them from the pan. Serve warm or store for later use.

Notes

  • Silicone muffin molds are highly recommended for easy release. To reduce prep time, chop and cook your add-ins in advance. For a flavor boost, add herbs like chives, parsley, or thyme. These egg bites are great for brunch spreads or make-ahead meal prep.
