Ingredients
Scale
Protein & Meat:
- 6 eggs
- 4 bacon strips, cooked and chopped
Dairy:
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) parmesan cheese, grated
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) heavy cream
- Cheddar cheese, shredded
Seasonings & Garnish:
- Salt (to taste)
- Pepper (to taste)
- Green onion, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the oven to 180°C (350°F) and generously coat a 6-cup muffin tin with non-stick spray or butter.
- Combine eggs, parmesan, heavy cream, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl, whisking thoroughly until the mixture becomes smooth and uniform.
- Distribute chopped bacon pieces evenly across the bottom of each muffin compartment, creating a flavorful base layer.
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the bacon, ensuring consistent coverage in each cup.
- Scatter chopped green onions atop the cheese layer for added freshness and color.
- Gently pour the whisked egg mixture into each muffin cup, filling approximately three-quarters full to prevent overflow during baking.
- Transfer the muffin tin to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, monitoring until the egg bites appear set and develop a delicate golden-brown surface.
- Once cooked, remove from the oven and allow the egg bites to rest for 3-4 minutes, which helps them firm up and makes removal easier.
- Carefully extract the egg bites from the tin using a small offset spatula or butter knife, ensuring they maintain their shape.
- Serve immediately while warm, offering a protein-packed and convenient morning meal.
Notes
- Customize the bacon type for different flavor profiles, like turkey bacon for a leaner option or pancetta for a more intense taste.
- Experiment with alternative cheeses such as goat cheese or feta to create unique variations and cater to different dietary preferences.
- Prep ingredients ahead of time to streamline the morning cooking process, making these egg bites a quick and stress-free breakfast solution.
- Store leftover egg bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days, reheating gently in the microwave for a quick meal.
