Ingredients
Scale
12 large eggs
1/2 cup heavy cream or milk
1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
1/4 cup cooked, crumbled bacon or diced ham (optional)
1/4 cup finely chopped spinach or bell pepper (optional)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin or use silicone liners.
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
If using mix-ins, divide the cheese, meat, and vegetables evenly among the muffin cups.
Carefully pour the egg mixture over the fillings in each cup, filling them about three-quarters full. Do not overfill.
Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the egg bites are set in the center and lightly golden around the edges. A knife inserted near the center should come out clean.
Remove the tin from the oven and let the egg bites cool in the tin for 5 minutes before carefully removing them.
Store cooled egg bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days for easy meal prep. Reheat in the microwave for 30 to 60 seconds.
Notes
For a creamier texture, use heavy cream instead of milk.
These protein-packed eggs freeze well. Place cooled bites in a freezer-safe bag and reheat directly from frozen, adding a few extra seconds to the microwave time.
