Ingredients
Scale
- 8 eggs
- 1/2 cup half-and-half or milk
- 1/4 cup diced green pepper
- 1/4 cup green onions
- 1/4 cup chopped spinach
- 3/4 cup diced ham or bacon (cooked), divided
- 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly grease a muffin tin or silicone muffin cups with cooking spray.
- Chop the vegetables: Dice the green peppers, green onions, and spinach. Prepare your choice of cooked bacon or ham.
- Assemble the filling: Divide the diced green peppers, green onions, chopped spinach, and 1/2 cup of your cooked meat among the muffin cups.
- Mix the egg base: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half (or milk), salt, pepper, and 1/2 cup of the shredded cheese.
- Pour the egg mixture: Fill each muffin cup with the egg mixture, about three-quarters full.
- Top it off: Sprinkle the reserved meat and remaining cheese on top of each cup.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes. Check for doneness at 18 minutes; if the centers jiggle, continue baking in 2-minute increments until set.
- Serve warm: The egg bites will puff up during baking but may deflate slightly after being removed from the oven—enjoy them warm!
