I love the egg bites at Starbucks! So, I set out to find a copycat recipe and our friends at simplisticallyliving.com came through!
These are a great meal prep item for your busy mornings.
Egg Bites
Ingredients –
10 eggs
½ cup milk or cream
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
½ cup chopped vegetables of your choice we use bell peppers, tomatoes, onions
½ cup cooked crumbled bacon or sausage (optional)
½ cup chopped turkey optional
Salt and pepper to taste
Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions –
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Generously spray a muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray to prevent the egg bites from sticking.
Chop up any vegetables you plan on using and pre-cook bacon (if using) and chop that into pieces as well.
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.
Place a handful of the chopped veggies, meat and a bit of cheese into each cavity of the muffin tin.
Carefully pour or spoon the egg mixture into the muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 of the way full.
Use a fork to stir each muffin cavity to ensure the ingredients are well mixed into the egg mixture.
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.
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.
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.
