Pro Tips
- Whisk the eggs vigorously for about a minute until light and frothy — that air is what gives the bites their fluffy, souffle-like lift.
- Pull the pan from the oven as soon as the center is just set; the eggs keep cooking as they cool and over-baking is what makes them rubbery.
- Let the slab cool in the pan for 5 minutes before slicing into clean squares.
- For grab-and-go portions, pour the mixture into a greased muffin tin and bake 10-12 minutes at 350°F (175°C) instead of the sheet pan.
