Cuisine: Keto
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup broccoli florets, steamed
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 6-cavity muffin tin thoroughly with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Steam broccoli florets until tender-crisp, approximately 3-4 minutes. Drain and chop into small, uniform pieces to ensure even distribution in egg bites.
- In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk thoroughly until smooth and well-combined.
- Add heavy cream, salt, and pepper to the whisked eggs. Continue whisking until the mixture is completely homogeneous.
- Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped steamed broccoli, ensuring even distribution throughout the mixture.
- Carefully pour the egg mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the egg bites are set and lightly golden on top.
- Remove from oven and let cool in the tin for 5 minutes to help them set completely.
- Gently run a knife around the edges of each egg bite and carefully remove from the muffin tin.
- Serve warm or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat briefly in the microwave before serving.
Tips
- Steam Broccoli to Perfection: Make sure to steam your broccoli just until tender-crisp to maintain its vibrant color and nutrients. Overcooking will make it mushy and watery.
- Grease is Your Friend: Don't skimp on greasing the muffin tin! Use butter or a high-quality cooking spray to ensure your egg bites release easily.
- Whisk Like a Pro: Take your time whisking the eggs and cream to create a smooth, homogeneous mixture that will result in creamy, light egg bites.
- Even Distribution is Key: When adding cheese and broccoli, fold gently to ensure an even spread in each bite.
- Don't Overfill: Fill the muffin cavities only about 3/4 full to allow room for rising and prevent overflow.
- Watch the Oven: Every oven is slightly different, so start checking at 20 minutes to prevent overcooking.
- Meal Prep Magic: These egg bites are perfect for meal prepping! They'll stay fresh in the refrigerator for 3-4 days and can be quickly reheated for a grab-and-go breakfast.
