Tips and Tricks
Chop the roast beef small - Smaller pieces distribute more evenly through the egg bites and make them easier to eat. Watch the last few minutes - Muffin pans and ovens vary, so begin checking the centers around the 20-minute mark. Let them rest before removing - The 5-minute cooling time helps the egg bites hold their shape when lifted from the pan.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 60 seconds, or until heated through. Frozen egg bites will need additional time. Oven - Reheat at 325°F until warmed through.Nutrition
