Ingredients
– 6 large eggs
– ½ cup milk (or dairy-free alternative)
– 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)

– Fresh herbs (optional, such as chives or parsley)
Instructions
Making Mini Egg Bites is a straightforward process. Follow these simple steps to create your delicious bites:
1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your Mini Egg Bites cook evenly.
2. Prepare the Muffin Tin: Grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or line it with silicone muffin cups to prevent sticking.
3. Whisk the Eggs: In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together until well blended.
4. Add Milk: Pour in the milk and mix until combined. This will create a fluffy texture in your bites.
5. Mix in Cheese and Vegetables: Add the shredded cheese and diced vegetables to the egg mixture. Stir well to ensure everything is evenly distributed.
6. Season: Sprinkle in salt and pepper to taste. You can also add any fresh herbs if desired.
7. Add Protein (Optional): If you’re using bacon or sausage, fold it into the mixture at this point.
8. Fill the Muffin Tin: Carefully pour the egg mixture into each muffin cup, filling them about ¾ full. This allows room for the bites to rise as they cook.
9. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the egg is set and lightly golden on top.
10. Cool and Remove: Once baked, let the Mini Egg Bites cool for about 5 minutes. Then, gently run a knife around the edges and pop them out of the muffin tin.
