Ingredients

  • 6 eggs
  • ½ cup shredded cheese
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • ¾ cup chopped peppers and onions
  • oil for sautéing

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
  • Sauté the chopped peppers and onions in a pan until soft. Pour them into a bowl and set them aside to cool.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk 6 eggs.
  • Add in the cheese, heavy cream, and cooled chopped peppers, and onions.
  • Pour the mixture into a mini muffin pan and bake at 350 degrees F for about 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Notes

  • This recipe makes around 24 mini egg bites. You may make regular-sized egg muffins by adding a few more minutes to the total bake time.
  • I like to use a silicone muffin pan to bake these egg bites as they pop out easily without any sticking. If using a regular mini muffin pan, be sure to coat with a cooking spray beforehand. 
  • The egg bites puff up a lot while baking but shrink back down once they cool.
  • Cheddar jack and 4-cheese Mexican blend are great flavorful cheeses to use in this recipe. Mozzarella cheese is a good low sodium option.
  • I usually mix the batter and pour half of the mixture into a mini muffin pan for my baby and then add salt, cayenne pepper, and other seasonings to the other half for everyone else!
