Ingredients

scaled for 6
  • 8eggs
  • ½ cupplain Greek yogurt
  • ½ cupshredded cheese
  • ¼ tspsalt
  • ¼ tspblack pepper
  • 1 sprayolive oil or nonstick spray

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 325°F. Grease a muffin tin well; egg bites stick easily.

  2. 2

    Blend the eggs, Greek yogurt, shredded cheese, salt, and pepper for 10 to 20 seconds, until smooth.

  3. 3

    Prepare your vegetables. Cook mushrooms first and drain tomatoes well so the bites do not become watery.

  4. 4

    Add about 1 tablespoon of vegetables to each muffin cup. Pour in the egg mixture, filling each cup about three-quarters full.

  5. 5

    Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, until the centers are just set but not browned.

  6. 6

    Cool for 5 minutes, then loosen the edges with a butter knife. Refrigerate for 4 to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

Do not overload the cups. A little filling helps the centers set evenly.
