Better Than Starbucks Egg Bites

INGREDIENTS

• 10 eggs
• 1/2 cup milk or cream
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup chopped vegetables of your choice (we use bell peppers, tomatoes, onions)
• 1/2 cup cooked crumbled bacon or sausage (optional)
• 1/2 cup chopped turkey (optional)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Non-stick cooking spray

INSTRUCTIONS

1. 1 Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. 2 Generously spray a muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray to prevent the egg bites from sticking.
3. 3 Chop up any vegetables you plan on using and pre-cook bacon (if using) and chop that into pieces as well.
4. 4 In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk or cream, salt, and pepper. Make sure to whisk until the yolks and whites are fully combined and the mixture is a bit frothy. Basically, make these like scrambled eggs.
5. 5 Place a handful of the chopped veggies, meat and a bit of cheese into each cavity of the muffin tin.
6. 6 Carefully pour or spoon the egg mixture into the muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 of the way full.
7. 7 Use a fork to stir each muffin cavity to ensure the ingredients are well mixed into the egg mixture.
8. 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. 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. 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.
