Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 6-cup muffin tin with the butter to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until fully combined and fluffy.
Add the shredded cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, and grated parmesan cheese to the egg mixture. Stir well to combine.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper, mixing until evenly distributed.
Pour the egg mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Sprinkle chopped fresh chives over the top of each egg bite for added flavor and color.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20-25 minutes or until the egg bites are puffed and lightly golden on top.
To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of one egg bite; it should come out clean.
Allow the egg bites to cool slightly in the tin before gently removing them.
Serve warm or allow them to cool completely before storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
