Ingredients
  

  • 11 large eggs
  • 7 ounces (200 g / 7.1 oz) mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 4 ounces (115 g / 4.1 oz) bacon, cooked and chopped
  • 1 ounce (28 g / 0.99 oz) ground beef, cooked and crumbled
  • 3 scallions, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml / 0.2 fl oz) olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • For fluffier egg bites, add a splash of heavy cream or milk (about 2 tablespoons / 30 ml / 1 fl oz) to the egg mixture before whisking.
  • These egg bites are perfect for meal prep. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave for 20-30 seconds.
  • Feel free to customize your fillings. Try adding sautéed spinach, diced bell peppers, or different cheeses like cheddar or feta for a new flavor combination.

Method
 

  1. Directions
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F / 175°C. Generously grease a 12-cup muffin tin with baking spray or a light coating of olive oil.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and olive oil together until smooth and well-combined.
  4. Stir the shredded mozzarella cheese, cooked bacon, cooked ground beef, and chopped scallions directly into the egg mixture.
  5. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to your personal taste and stir one final time to ensure all are evenly distributed.
  6. Carefully pour the mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters of the way full.
  7. Bake for 17-20 minutes, or until the centers are set and the tops are lightly golden. You can test for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of a bite; it should come out clean.
  8. Allow the egg bites to cool in the tin for a few minutes before serving. This will help them release from the pan more easily.
  9. Don't overfill the muffin cups! Fill them only about three-quarters full to prevent them from spilling over as they puff up during baking.
