Tips for Perfect Egg Bites

• Don’t overfill: Leave a little space at the top of each muffin cup; egg bites rise slightly.
• Mix-ins: Customize with your favorite vegetables, meats, or cheeses.
• Storage: Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 1 month. Reheat in the microwave for 30–60 seconds.

These egg bites are simple, nutritious, and versatile – perfect for anyone who wants a quick, satisfying breakfast without the Starbucks price tag!
