There\u2019s lots of methods for preparing egg bites. Some recipes are made using an Instant Pot<\/a>, others are sous vide. Both methods are fantastic but if I\u2019m just looking for a quick meal prep I\u2019m going with a silicone muffin pan<\/a>. You can basically have the recipe ready to go by the time your oven has preheated.

Get Creative, Use your favorite ingredients to create the perfect Egg Bites<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can use this recipe as a base and have fun with the other ingredients. Bacon & gruyere like Starbucks or get crazy with crab and chives. The possibilities are endless. As long as you start with 10 eggs, \u00bd cup cottage cheese and a \u00bc cup heavy cream the rest is up to you.

I chose to use pepperoni and prosciutto because of their higher fat to protein ratio. I\u2019m on a specific protocol currently and I\u2019m really trying to keep my protein lower than I normally would. Plus who doesn\u2019t love pepperoni and prosciutto. I pretty much love all Italian cold cuts and these were just what I had on hand. One extra step that I really recommend is to saut\u00e9 your diced meats ahead of time. Prosciutto especially can be chewy when cooked plus you amplify the flavors by crisping up the meat ahead of time.

Since it\u2019s the end of summer here in Maryland my basil plants are growing out of control.  I would always choose fresh herbs whenever possible but if you\u2019re reading this recipe in February I totally understand using dry herbs.

Protect the Egg Bites from Browning too soon.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For the first half hour I like to cook the eggs covered with a second sheet pan<\/a> or a piece of foil. This not only expedites the cooking process but also prevents the eggs from browning up to soon. If you like you can always top the egg bites with a dollop of sour cream or ricotta after they\u2019ve cooled down. You could also add mozzarella cheese on top for the last 10 minutes of baking but I didn\u2019t want to cover up the red and green flecks. Probably a great Christmas time breakfast if I\u2019m thinking out loud. If you have a bite more time I highly suggest you give my Sausage Crust Breakfast Pizza <\/a>a try.
