Notes
If you use a silicone muffin tin, you do not need to spray with non-stick cooking spray.
You can easily switch out the add-ins on the egg bites to your favorite. I love using spinach, bell peppers and onions. But bacon, browned sausage,tomatoes, etc will all taste amazing in this recipe.
These are great to make ahead. Allow them to cool completely, cover and refrigerate for up to 5 days.
