Egg Bites - Emily's Favorite Eggy Breakfast

I've been making breakfast burritos for my husband and kids for a decade now. And while I enjoy a breakfast burrito from time to time myself, MY favorite make ahead breakfast is Egg Bites. These little guys are packed with protein and easy to grab and go which is so important when I'm trying to get the kids ready and out the door on school mornings!

I actually really enjoy my egg bites cold, so that makes them even more accessible on busy mornings or as a quick afternoon snack.

**Pro-Tip** I DO highly recommend using a silicone baking pan or silicone cupcake liners for the easiest clean-up and the smoothest egg bite texture.

Like with most cooking, you can create limitless flavor combinations so I will share the base Egg Bite recipe and 2 of my personal favorite variations.
