Egg Bites

These are shockingly good for how easy they are. I used bacon bits instead of frying up some bacon, so it came together with minimal mess in less than 5 minutes. I cooked for 25 minutes, per the instructions. Most of mine turned out exactly as pictured, but a few of them were not fully cooked through. In the future, I'll experiment with a slightly higher temp or slightly longer cook time. This recipe does a great job of copying the sous vide effect. The egg bites are moist and custardy with mostly uniform texture, unlike a lot of egg muffins which have a more noticeable egg taste, are fluffier, and have a stronger cooked outside. I was worried the hot sauce taste would get completely lost, but I was able to taste a slight hint of mine, so I recommend playing with what kind of hot sauce you put in, and how much! I used a Carolina reaper sauce and it complemented the gruyere super well, so don't skip it unless you really dislike hot sauce! It's just a really well done recipe, and you can play a lot with the final result. I imagine I'll be making these a lot!

I did half cheddar half mozzarella

This is such a good base recipe for egg bites, and it can be used in an egg bite maker too. I've been making these almost every week. I use ham instead of bacon, and just do 1 cup cottage cheese, 1 cup shredded cheese, and 6 eggs. Nothing else is really needed.

Bake at 325

Made in jumbo muffin tins. Cooked for 35 mins. Add more hot sauce. Good breakfast meal prep.

I added spinach, red bell pepper, onion and bacon. I doubled the recipe and loved the results

I used pre-shredded Mexican cheese mix and real bacon bits from a bag because it's what I had on hand - it saved time & came out great!

My only suggestion is to watch the time. I needed a bit more time to get the consistency just right but otherwise .. Never have to spend $5 on two egg bites at Starbucks again! 🤣

I never need to go to Starbucks again for egg bites. These are delicious! I cooked some in individual cupcake size silicone molds on a cookie sheet and others in paper liners in a cupcake pan. I sprayed both generously with non-stick cooking spray. The silicone molds cooked in 20 minutes and turned out more attractive than those in the paper liners which needed an extra five minutes.
