Tips and Tricks

Grease the pan well - Egg bites can stick around the edges, so coat every muffin cup before adding the egg mixture.
Check the centers - The egg bites are ready when the centers are set and no longer look wet.
Let them rest before removing - Five minutes in the pan gives them time to firm up, making them easier to remove without tearing.
Chop the chives small - Smaller pieces spread more evenly through all 12 egg bites.

Storing and Reheating

Refrigerator - Store cooled egg bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Freezer - Freeze cooled egg bites in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating when possible.
Microwave - Reheat refrigerated egg bites in short intervals until warmed through. Avoid overheating them, since eggs can turn rubbery.
Oven - Place the egg bites in a baking dish and warm at 325°F until heated through.
