Bacon Broccoli Egg Bites
Description
This recipe mixes beaten eggs with milk, salt, and pepper, then incorporates cooked broccoli and crumbled bacon for flavor and texture. Sharp cheddar cheese is sprinkled on top before baking. The egg mixture fills greased muffin cups to create individual-sized egg bites that cook evenly and set to a custardy consistency.
Baked at 350°F (176°C) for about 18-20 minutes, the egg bites are cooked until just set, avoiding dryness and preserving a tender, moist interior. Cooling briefly before serving helps them release cleanly from the pans. This portioned approach is practical for meal prep or grab-and-go eating.
These egg bites can be reheated after freezing, making them a flexible make-ahead option convenient for busy mornings or light meals that combine protein, vegetables, and cheese.
