Here’s a simple, flexible way to make egg bites—like the soft, protein-packed ones you get at coffee shops, but cheaper and customizable.
🥚 Easy Egg Bites (Oven Method)
Ingredients:
- 6 eggs
- ¼ cup milk (or cream for richer texture)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Optional add-ins:
- Shredded cheese
- Cooked chicken or beef
- Spinach, onions, capsicum
- Mushrooms or tomatoes
🥣 Instructions:
- Preheat oven
Set to 180°C (350°F). Grease a muffin tray or use liners. - Mix eggs
Whisk eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth. - Add fillings
Place your add-ins into each muffin cup (don’t overfill). - Pour egg mixture
Fill each cup about ¾ full. - Bake
Bake for 18–22 minutes until set in the middle. - Cool slightly
Let them sit for a few minutes before removing.
💡 Tips:
- For extra soft texture, bake the tray inside a larger pan with a little water (steam bath).
- Don’t overbake—they can get rubbery.
- Store in the fridge up to 4 days; reheat quickly.
🔄 Variations:
- Low-carb: cheese + meat only
- Veggie: spinach + onion + tomato
- Spicy: add chili flakes or green chilies
Quick, filling, and great for meal prep or grab-and-go breakfasts. If you want, I can give you a no-oven (pan or stovetop) version or a 3-ingredient egg bite hack.
