Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 10 large eggs
- ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons milk
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Optional Fillings
- Spinach, chopped
- Green onion, sliced
- Green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
- Red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
- Ham, diced
- Tomato, diced
Instructions
- Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a silicone muffin tin or line a regular muffin tin with paper liners to prevent sticking.
- Whisk Eggs: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Fill Muffin Cups: Pour the egg mixture into each muffin cup, filling about one-third of the way full to allow space for the fillings.
- Add Fillings: Add about one teaspoon of each desired optional filling (such as spinach, green onion, bell peppers, ham, or tomato) into each muffin cup. Then, fill the cups about two-thirds full with the remaining egg mixture.
- Top with Cheese: Sprinkle approximately one teaspoon of shredded cheddar cheese on top of each filled muffin cup.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the egg bites are fully set and the tops turn lightly golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- You can customize these egg bites with any favorite vegetables, meats, or cheeses.
- Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
- Use silicone muffin tins for easy removal or non-stick paper liners to prevent sticking.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and reheat in a microwave.
- For a dairy-free option, omit the cheese and milk or substitute with dairy-free cheeses and plant-based milk.
