Muffin Tin Egg Bites Recipe
Equipment:
- 12 Count Muffin Pan
- 12 Paper Muffin Liners
- Stand Mixer, Hand Mixer, or Whisk
- Medium Sized Bowl
- Ladle
- Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 8 Large Eggs
- 1/2 cup Finely Chopped Ham
- 1/2 cup Finely Shredded Cheddar Cheese
- 3/4 cup Milk
- 1/2 teaspoon Onion Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
How To Make Muffin Tin Egg Bites
To start, preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Then, line your muffin pan with liners.
In a mixing bowl, crack your eggs, and set the eggshells aside to make bonemeal for your garden soil.
Use a hand mixer on medium speed or hand whisk to beat the eggs for 4 minutes until they are completely blended.
Next, add your milk and beat again for 2 minutes. You should see a lot of bubbles forming. Add in the onion powder, black pepper, and salt, and beat again until everything is well combined.
Lastly, pour in the ham and cheese (or other preferred mix ins), and stir everything together on low speed.
Use a ladle to distribute the egg mixture evenly into the muffin liners, filling each muffin cup three-quarters full with the egg mixture. Keep in mind that the eggs will expand once baked.
Bake for 20-23 minutes.
How To Store and Reheat Muffin Tin Egg Bites
To store the muffin tin egg bites, put them in an airtight container or a ziplock bag, and keep refrigerated for up to four days.
To reheat, use either an oven or an air fryer’s bake setting. In the oven, preheat to 350°F and reheat the egg bites for 8minutes. In the air fryer, reheat for three minutes on the bake setting.
Eggs get kind of weird in the microwave. If this is your easiest option to reheat, turn the power down to medium and reheat in intervals of 45 seconds until warm.
