Don’s Egg Bites

Not knowing what to have for breakfast, I stood and stared at the contents of my fridge this morning. And then it hit me…Egg Bites!

So in my continuing breakfast series I give you a Broccoli and Cheddar Egg Bite, as well as a Ham, Swiss Cheese and Sun Dried Tomato Egg Bite.

In a large measuring cup I cracked six eggs, poured in two tablespoons of Half & Half, ground in some black pepper and gave the mix a dusting of garlic powder, onion powder and cayenne. I also added some dried parsley and basil. I blended this with my hand held immersion blender till it was nice and fluffy. I poured half of this into a bowl on the side.

To the egg mix in the measuring cup I added some “Broccoli Rice” (I finer-chopped off the crowns of two broccoli florets and then steamed it in the microwave for 1 minute)) and some diced cheddar. I also stirred in a tablespoon of Mexican Creama. With a good stir, I poured this into four muffin cups, which had been sprayed with olive oil.

I poured the egg mix I set aside into the measuring cup, and to that I added some diced Black Forest Ham, some diced baby Swiss cheese and some dice sun dried tomatoes. This went into 5 cups.

The muffin tray went into a pre-heated 350° oven for 15 minutes. I then turned off the heat and let it finish for 5 more minutes. Bingo. I now have a great breakfast, and I’m set for two more days.

Of course, you could put anything in these. Mushrooms, Gouda, bacon, shaved truffles…
