To freeze the egg bites, place the cooked egg bites on a large baking tray in the freezer for about 1 hour.

👩🏻🍳 Eileen's Tips for Success
- We recommend using a block of cheese and grate it. Pre-shredded cheese can have a film on it that makes it hard to melt
- Be sure to spray the silicone molds well with non-stick spray.
- Use the blender to mix all the ingredients, including the filling. This helps the ingredients to not drop to the bottom while they cook.
- Through recipe testing, when varying the recipe, and using veggies, we recommend cooking the vegetables before adding to the egg mixture. For example, saute peppers, mushrooms, and onions before adding into the mix.
📋 Frequently Asked Questions
The silicone molds can be stacked. Be sure to stack from the bottom to the top.
Check the manufacturer's instructions to ensure they are safe for cooking.
There may be some deflating after the eggs cook. Using the blender to whip the eggs adds an airy fluffy texture to the eggs.
📖 Variations
- Center-cut bacon is lean so that is always my go-to choice. Any type of bacon, including turkey, will work for this recipe.
- Depending on your preferences, egg beaters, or a mix of whole and egg whites can be used.
- If using Egg Beaters, in general, ¼ cup of egg beaters is equal to 1 egg.
- If replacing whole eggs with egg whites, use 2 egg whites for 1 egg.
- The "Starbucks" recipes use egg whites, cottage cheese, roasted red peppers, Monterey jack, and gruyère cheese.
- Try this combination of spinach, roasted red peppers, and feta cheese.
- Another combination to try is chopped kale, feta cheese, and roasted peppers.
- Sun-dried tomatoes would be a great addition to the eggs.
- Vary the protein with any of these choices such as diced ham, cooked crumbled breakfast sausage, or crumbled tofu.
- Some other cheeses to try can be Parmesan, Swiss, or goat cheese..
