Equipment

Ingredients

  • 10 large eggs (500g)
  • ½ lb bacon (227g), cooked and crumbled
  • 4 oz gruyere cheese (113g), 2 cups grated
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 12-count standard muffin pan with olive oil, or non-stick cooking spray, which also comes in olive oil. Fill each cup with an equal portion of the cooked bacon and Gruyere cheese.
  • Add 10 large cracked eggs to a mixing bowl and whisk together with salt, freshly ground black pepper, Italian seasoning, and red chili pepper flakes.
  • Pour egg mixture into muffin cups until ⅔ full. Do not over fill. Sprinkle tops with extra bacon and cheese if desired, the top garnish gives the egg bites a finished look.
  • Bake the egg bites for 15 minutes, or until set.
  • Allow the egg bites to cool a few minutes, serve your bacon gruyere egg bites immediately, or store for meal prep for those on-the-go mornings.
