Ingredients

  • 4 cooked bacon strips crumbled
  • 7 large eggs
  • ¼ cup milk of choice
  • 1 ¼ cup shredded Gouda or Gruyere, cheddar, or your favorite
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • red pepper flakes to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and spray muffin tin generously with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
  • In each muffin cup, add bacon and shredded cheese.
  • Pour the egg mixture over the bacon and cheese in each muffin cup, leaving a little room at the top.
  • Bake for 20 minutes on the middle rack of the oven until the egg bites are just set. They will begin to pull away from the edges of the muffin tin.

Notes

  1. To make it vegetarian: Skip the bacon and add sautéed spinach or mushrooms.
  2. Cheese: The flavor of eggs and Gouda is a classic, delicious choice, but you may also enjoy cheddar, Swiss, or pepper jack for different flavor profiles.
  3. Fresh Herbs: Add chopped chives, green onions, or fresh basil.
  4. For Savory & Spicy: A dash of smoked paprika or hot sauce goes a long way.
