Egg Mixture
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup chopped broccoli florets (raw)
- Optional: garlic powder or other spices to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a mini muffin tin to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Broccoli: Chop the raw broccoli florets into small, bite-sized pieces for even cooking and texture.
- Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the eggs, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped broccoli, and optional spices such as garlic powder. Stir well until fully incorporated.
- Fill Muffin Tin: Scoop the broccoli and egg mixture into the greased mini muffin tin, filling each cup almost to the top to ensure nicely sized egg bites.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the egg bites are set and lightly golden on top.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the egg bites to cool slightly before removing them from the tin. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- For added flavor, consider adding spices like garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, or chili flakes to the egg mixture.
- Make sure the broccoli is chopped finely to ensure even cooking and easy eating.
- These egg bites can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently in the microwave.
- Use silicone mini muffin tins for easier removal and less greasing.
- Feel free to substitute cheddar cheese with other cheeses like mozzarella or feta for different flavor profiles.
