Tips and Tricks

Drain the pimentos well - Extra liquid can make the egg bites wetter than they should be.
Don’t overbake - Take them out once the centers are set. Baking too long can make eggs rubbery.
Expect a little deflating - Egg bites puff in the oven and settle as they cool. Totally normal.

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.
Microwave - Reheat refrigerated egg bites in short intervals until warmed through.
Oven - Warm the egg bites at 325°F until heated through.
