Instructions

Preheat Oven
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a 24-cup muffin tin generously with non-stick cooking spray or line with silicone muffin liners.
Whisk Eggs & Cream
In a large bowl, whisk together all 20 eggs and 1 cup cream (or milk) until uniform and pale yellow.
Add Mix-Ins
Fold in shredded cheese, chopped vegetables, cooked meat, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Fill Muffin Cups
Using a ladle or large measuring cup, fill each muffin cup about ¾ full.
Bake
Bake 12–15 minutes, until tops are just set and lightly golden. A slight jiggle in the center is okay. Rotate pan halfway if needed for even baking.
Cool Slightly
Let egg bites rest 4–5 minutes in the pan before removing.
Serve
Enjoy warm with a side of fruit, avocado toast, or your favorite sauce. For grab-and-go, store cooled egg bites in the fridge (up to 4 days) or freezer (up to 3 months). Reheat in an air fryer, toaster oven, or microwave.

Notes

Avoid Sogginess: Sauté high-water-content vegetables before adding. Drain cooked meats.
Egg Bite Puffing: Normal for them to rise and then settle.
Sticking Prevention: Use non-stick spray liberally or silicone liners.
