Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 6 eggs
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 3/4 cup grated cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup green onion, sliced
Vegetables and Meat
- 1 cup ham, cut into small cubes
- 3/4 cup red bell pepper, chopped
- 1/4 cup red onion, chopped
Others
- 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking spray for greasing the pan
Instructions
- Preheat Oven Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and generously spray a mini muffin pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Sauté Vegetables and Ham Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced ham, red bell pepper, and red onion. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the peppers and onions are slightly tender.
- Whisk Egg Mixture In a separate large bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk thoroughly until well combined.
- Add Cheese and Green Onions Stir in the grated cheddar cheese and sliced green onions into the egg mixture. For a denser texture, use a fork to blend rather than whisking.
- Combine Mixtures Add the sautéed ham and vegetable mixture into the egg mixture and stir to evenly distribute.
- Fill Muffin Pan Pour the combined mixture evenly into the greased mini muffin pan cups.
- Bake Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 16 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and eggs are fully cooked.
- Cool and Serve Allow the egg bites to cool slightly before removing them from the pan. Serve warm.
Notes
- For a vegetarian option, substitute ham with cooked mushrooms or spinach.
- You can use any type of cheese such as mozzarella or pepper jack for different flavors.
- These egg bites can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and reheated before serving.
- Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper according to taste preferences.
- Using a fork instead of a whisk results in a denser, creamier texture.
