These egg bites are super cute and the recipe is easy to modify to use in-season vegetables and satisfy everyone’s tastebuds.Broccoli Red Pepper Egg Bites - perfect for on-the-go breakfasts, quick pick-me-up snacks or breakfast buffets; easy customizable

This past week, we hosted “girlfriend week” at our house. Each of my three older sons invited their girlfriends to stay at our house for the week. So, I was busy cooking up a storm each day, making breakfast, lunch and dinner, while the “kids” hung out and relaxed.

Two of the girls are vegetarian, so I made these Broccoli Red Pepper Egg Bites the last morning everyone was here.

These broccoli red pepper egg bites are great for feeding a crowd, but are also an excellent idea for school day mornings. They can be made a day in advance and reheated briefly in the microwave the next morning.

Egg Bites Recipe – Easy To Customize

The recipe for these egg bites is very flexible, so feel free to customize to meet your family’s tastes. Swap in your favorite in-season vegetables such as zucchini, mushrooms, cauliflower or spinach.

First, the vegetables are sautéed until just cooked through. Once cooled, divide the cooked vegetables among the mini muffin tins. Be sure to oil the muffin tins well to make removing the egg bites easier once baked.

Next, beat the eggs with salt, pepper, and your favorite dried herb blend. I used Herbes de Provence, one of my favorite herb blends, but feel free to use thyme, oregano, basil, or any herb blend. Fill each muffin tin with the egg mixture.

Then, top with your favorite shredded cheese. I love sharp cheddar cheese, but any shredded cheese with work just fine. If you’re allergic to dairy, substitute a dairy-free cheese, or omit altogether.

These broccoli red pepper egg bites take just 15 minutes to bake.

Let the egg bites cool slightly before removing from the muffin tins. Use a plastic knife and run it around each egg bite in the muffin tin for easier removal.

    My husband and I really loved the flavor. Next time I’m going to try your recipe in the form of a quiche -just for something different.
