Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces large eggs
- 6 slices cooked bacon
- 1 cup Gruyere cheese, grated
- 0.5 cup coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a muffin tin with coconut oil to prevent sticking.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until well blended.
Chop the cooked bacon into small pieces and add it to the egg mixture. Add the grated Gruyere cheese, coconut milk, chopped chives, salt, and pepper.
Mix all the ingredients together until they are evenly distributed.
Pour the egg mixture evenly into each section of the muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
Place the muffin tin into the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the egg bites are set and slightly golden on top.
Once cooked, remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the egg bites to cool for a few minutes before carefully removing them from the tin.
Serve warm or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat before serving, if desired.
