Tips and Tricks

Grease the pan well - Egg mixtures tend to stick around the edges, so coat each muffin cup thoroughly with nonstick cooking spray.
Don’t overbake - Remove the egg bites once the centers are set. Baking much longer can make them firmer than necessary.
Let them rest before removing - Five minutes in the pan makes them easier to lift out without breaking.

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. Separate layers with parchment paper if needed.
Microwave - Reheat refrigerated egg bites for about 30 to 45 seconds, adding more time if needed.
From frozen - Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating for the most even results.
