Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 large Egg Whites
- 4 slices Turkey Bacon
- 1 cup, shredded Gruyere Cheese
- 0.5 cup Fat-free Milk
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Chives
- 1 as needed Non-stick Cooking Spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
Lightly spray a muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray to prevent the egg bites from sticking.
Cook the turkey bacon in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until it's crisp. Once cooked, place the strips on a paper towel to remove any excess grease and then chop into small pieces.
In a large bowl, whisk together the egg whites, fat-free milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Gently fold the shredded Gruyere cheese, chopped turkey bacon, and chives into the egg mixture.
Pour the egg mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the egg bites are set and lightly golden on top.
Remove the egg bites from the oven and let them cool slightly before removing them from the muffin tin.
Serve warm and enjoy, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave for 30-45 seconds before serving.
