- Customizable: Get creative with your add-ins! From cheesy goodness to savory bacon, the possibilities are endless.
Ingredients You’ll Need
- 6 large eggs
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Optional add-ins: cooked bacon crumbles, shredded cheddar cheese, diced vegetables (onions, peppers, spinach), etc.
Let’s Get Cooking!
- Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Grease a muffin tin with nonstick spray or coconut oil.
- Blend It Up: In a blender, combine the eggs, cream cheese, melted butter, heavy cream, salt, and pepper. Blend on high for 20 seconds, or until the mixture is smooth and frothy.
- Customize Your Bites: This is where the fun begins! Stir in your favorite add-ins. Bacon crumbles and cheddar cheese are always a hit, but feel free to experiment.
- Fill and Bake: Pour the egg mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full. If you’re using any toppings, sprinkle them over the top.
- Water Bath Magic: Place the muffin tin in a larger baking dish. Carefully pour hot water into the baking dish until it reaches halfway up the sides of the muffin tin. This creates a moist cooking environment that results in incredibly tender egg bites.
- Bake to Perfection: Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the egg bites are set and slightly puffed.
- Cool and Enjoy: Allow the egg bites to cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before carefully removing them. Enjoy them warm or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Tips for Success
- Use Room Temperature Ingredients: This helps ensure a smooth and evenly cooked batter.
- Don’t Overmix: Overmixing can lead to tough egg bites. Blend just until combined.
- Get Creative with Toppings: Have fun experimenting with different flavor combinations.
- Reheat with Care: To reheat, microwave on low power or bake in a preheated oven at 300°F (150°C) until warmed through.
Conclusion
These easy keto egg bites are a delicious and convenient breakfast option that will fuel your mornings. With their customizable nature and simple preparation, you can enjoy a restaurant-quality breakfast right in the comfort of your own home.
