🤔 What are Mini Egg Bites?

Mini egg bites are like miniature frittatas that are baked in muffin or cupcake tins. The two main ingredients in egg bites are eggs and milk, and people can add whatever veggie or protein mix-ins they would like.

👍 Why do we Love them?

You can eat egg bites any time of day! Enjoy egg bites for breakfast on-the-go, in packed lunches, picnics, or as breakfast-for-dinner.

These egg bites are highly customizable. You can keep the base the same (eggs, milk, salt & pepper) and then experiment with any combo of veggies/meat/whatever to add. And if you happen to have an over-abundance of eggs after some kind of holiday (ahem, Easter), this is a great way to use up your surplus.

Great for leftovers! Finally, feel free to experiment with this recipe by adding leftovers or extra ingredients you have i the fridge. Have some leftover meat from a previous meal that you don't want to waste? Throw it in. Have a couple mushrooms but not really enough to cook with? Throw them in. You get the picture.

(These fit perfectly in our lunch boxes. Btw, I really love these Bentgo lunch boxes cause they take into account how much food kids can actually eat. So, your portions make sense).

Note on broccoli: cut florets as small as possible because the egg bites are small as it is, and the florets will also cook faster in smaller form

👩‍🍳 How to Make Mini Egg Bites

Step 1: Divide broccoli, cheese, and ham evenly in a greased, 12-muffin tin

🥄 Kids Steps: First, kids can chop the ham into small pieces, using a kids knife these Curious Chef kid-safe knives. Then, the kids can sprinkle the ingredients into muffin tin. Show your kids how to evenly divide the ham, broccoli & cheese into 12.

Step 2: Whisk together eggs and seasonings, and distribute in the tin

🥄 Kids Step: Crack and whisk together eggs! Kids - make sure you crack your eggs on the counter (hard surface), and then pour into a bowl. You can use a large egg shell piece to help grab any little shells that broke off into the egg bowl. It's cool how the shells pieces will stick together.

Step 3: Bake and enjoy!

🥄 Kids Step: After the egg bites have cooled a bit, help your adult by loosening the egg bites from the tin. Run a spatula around the inside edges, around the egg bites. Just make sure everyone washes their hands after handling the shells.

👧🏽Tips for Picky Eaters

🍅Kids design their egg bites. If your kids don't like ham and/or broccoli, just swap them out for something your kids are more guaranteed to eat. You can throw almost anything in a quiche. So, let your kids pick out which veggies, meats, and/or type of cheese to use. Our kids loved making decisions about this meal. My kids requested bacon and mushrooms for the next time.

🍅 Kids choose the side. If your kids want a yogurt side, let them pick out the fruit. Berries are easiest. You could even go crazy and sprinkle some almond slivers, pumpkin seeds or pistachios in there too! Just don't leave the kids unattended with the honey bottle for too long. We speak from experience here...seriously!
