To Serve

You can enjoy these egg bites hot or cold. Each muffin has around 160 calories, so a couple of these by themselves is perfect for breakfast. They are also great for brunch or a light lunch, paired with a fresh salad or serve them as part of a main with some oven baked fries.

Recipe Notes and Tips

Don’t fill the muffin molds all the way to the top. The eggs will expand when they bake, so leave some room for them to puff up. You may want to place a baking sheet under the muffin tin to catch any overflow.
Grease the muffin tin before adding the egg mixture so that your pizza egg bites are easy to remove.
Once cooked, let the baked pizza egg bites sit in the pan for 5 minutes. Then turn them out onto a cooling rack to cool completely before storing.
I used a deep 6 mold muffin tin for these egg bites. The recipe is easily doubled and tripled if you want to freeze some.
