Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 6-cup muffin tin with nonstick spray or softened butter.
- Whisk the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a bowl until pale and slightly frothy.
- Stir in the shredded cheese, chopped spinach, chives, and your choice of bacon or ham.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Cooking
- Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the centers are set but still slightly wobbly.
- Let the egg bites cool in the pan for 5 minutes before gently removing them with a small offset spatula.
Notes
For dairy-free, use dairy-free cheese and almond or oat milk. For vegetarian, skip the bacon and try mushrooms or sun-dried tomatoes. For an extra fluffy bite, fold in 1/4 cup cottage cheese or ricotta.
