This easy breakfast idea has many names, and whether you call them egg bites, egg muffins, mini quiche, or bite sized omelets, it’s a recipe you’ll want to keep in your meal plan rotation.
I’ve made egg bites with a 24 muffin tin as well as a 12 muffin tin, and it works either way, it’s really up to you what size you prefer.
This particular batch is made with egg whites, ham, and dairy free cheese for a quick and healthy version, but I’ve made them with bacon, spinach, regular cheddar cheese, whole eggs, and more!
The options really are endless for add in and topping ideas for these mini egg bites! I hope you’ll make them several times and change it up with each batch.
I thought the ham version would be perfect for a fun Easter brunch, and I plan on serving them on Easter morning to our family, with these bunny cinnamon rolls, and bunny pancakes for the kids!
