What You’ll Need
- eggs– For consistency I use large eggs for my cooking and baking.
- kosher salt– Kosher salt is a coarse salt commonly used in cooking and baking.
- black pepper– For best tasting results use freshly cracked black pepper.
- cooked bacon– For quick use, I like to use microwave ready bacon. Cook, let cool then crumble.
- green onion– Thinly slice green onion tips before using in eggs.
- cherry tomatoes– I like to quarter the cherry tomatoes before adding to my eggs.
- arugula– Arugula has a nice peppery lemon flavor. You can substitute for spinach too.
- cheese-I use a mild shredded cheddar, use your favorite variety of shredded cheese.
These egg bites are also called egg muffins. Basically, scrambled eggs baked inside muffin cups. They are so convenient for the kids to eat on the go if needed. If they can sit and enjoy breakfast together I like to serve them with a little side of fruit to go with them.
How To Make Egg Bites
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and spray 12 cup muffin tin lightly with cooking spray.
- Cook bacon according to package directions, until crisped. Crumble into small pieces and place into small bowl.
- Place eggs into a large mixing bowl. Whisk until combined. Add cooked bacon, tomatoes, chopped arugula, cheese, green onion, salt, hot sauce and pepper. Whisk gently until ingredients are combined. Use a 1/3 cup to pour egg mixture into prepared muffin cups.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until eggs are set. Remove and let sit for 3-5 minutes before transferring to serving plates. Serve warm by themselves or with your favorite salsa and a side of fruit.
Continue adding the bacon and shedded cheddar cheese. Give a good stir until well combined.
Spray your muffin cups with cooking spray and find you 1/3 measuring cup. This size works great to transfer the egg mixture to the muffin cups. Fill muffin cups 3/4 full with egg mixture.
Bake at 350 degrees F. for 25 minutes or until puffed and eggs are set.
How To Serve
- Serve with a side of fresh fruit.
- You can also serve along side a stack of pancakes.
- These egg bites are convenient to take to go if needed.
