Ingredients
This recipe yields 24 mini egg bites or 12 regular-sized ones.

½–1 tsp salt
¼ tsp pepper
¼ tsp garlic powder
¼ tsp onion powder
1 heaping cup broccoli florets (steamed and chopped)
3 oz chopped ham
¾ cup shredded cheese
How to Make Homemade Egg Bites
1. Prep the Oven and Tins Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a mini muffin tin or regular muffin tin, depending on your preference.
2. Whisk the Eggs and Spices In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
3. Add the Fillings Fold in the steamed and chopped broccoli, chopped ham, and shredded cheese. These add texture, flavor, and nutrients to your egg bites.
4. Fill the Muffin Tins Pour the egg mixture into the muffin tins, filling each about ¾ full to allow room for the bites to puff up as they bake.
5. Bake to Perfection Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake:
Mini egg bites: 9–11 minutes
Regular-sized egg bites: 15–18 minutes
The bites are ready when they’re set in the center and lightly golden around the edges.
6. Enjoy! Let them cool slightly before removing from the tin. Serve warm, or let them cool completely for meal prep.
Pro Tips for Perfect Egg Bites
Make Them Your Own: Swap the ham for cooked bacon, sausage, or even plant-based protein. Use spinach, bell peppers, or mushrooms in place of broccoli for variety.
Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in the microwave for 20–30 seconds when ready to enjoy.
Keep It Dairy-Free: Substitute cheese with your favorite dairy-free alternative, or skip it altogether for a lighter option.
Pairing Suggestions
Egg bites are delicious on their own, but for a more substantial meal, pair them with:
A fresh side salad
Whole-grain toast or an English muffin
A smoothie or fruit bowl for a complete breakfast
