- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Vegetables and Cheese
- 1/2 cup diced bell peppers (any color)
- 1/4 cup chopped spinach
- 1/4 cup diced red onion
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Other
- Non-stick cooking spray or oil for greasing
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray or oil to prevent sticking.
- Mix Egg Base: In a large bowl, whisk together the 6 large eggs and 1/4 cup milk until fully combined and smooth.
- Add Vegetables and Seasonings: Stir in the diced bell peppers, chopped spinach, diced red onion, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly distributed throughout the egg mixture.
- Fill Muffin Cups: Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin cups, filling each about 3/4 full to allow for expansion during baking.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the egg bites are set in the center and lightly golden on top.
- Cool and Serve: Let the egg bites cool for a few minutes in the muffin tin before carefully removing them. Serve warm or store in the refrigerator for a quick and convenient breakfast option.
Notes
- These egg bites freeze well and can be reheated quickly in the microwave for a convenient meal.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like mushrooms, tomatoes, or zucchini to customize your egg bites.
- Swap cheddar cheese for feta, mozzarella, or your favorite cheese variety.
- For extra protein, incorporate chopped cooked bacon, sausage, or ham.
