Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup whole milk (or almond milk)
Additional Ingredients
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 tbsp chopped green onions (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined to create a uniform mixture.
- Beat Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and milk together until creamy and smooth, ensuring an even consistency for the batter.
- Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined; be careful not to overmix to keep the bites tender.
- Add Cheese and Onions: Fold in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese and chopped green onions (if using) evenly throughout the batter for flavor and texture.
- Portion and Bake: Scoop tablespoon-sized mounds of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them sufficiently apart to allow for expansion during baking.
- Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the bites are golden brown on top and cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the breakfast bites cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving them warm for the best taste.
Notes
- Using almond milk instead of whole milk makes this recipe dairy-friendly.
- For extra flavor, add cooked bacon or diced jalapeños to the batter.
- These bites can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving for best texture.
- Grease the baking sheet lightly if you do not have parchment paper.
