Morning Egg Bites Recipes

BACON, EGG AND SWEET POTATO BREAKFAST BITES

Steps:

• The first step is to get the sweet potato base ready. To do this, peel and grate the sweet potatoes and combine with shredded cheese.
• Then, distribute the mixture evenly into the muffin pan with a small spoon or a measuring spoon (about 1 tbs).
• With a spoon or even your fingers press down on the mixture to compact into a cup. Bake them for 10 minutes in the oven over a 350-degree temperature.
• While the sweet potatoes are baking, Proceed to cut the bacon into small bites and add some honey (honey is optional).
• Then, crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and add the chive. This is when you can be as creative as you want. Sometimes I add spinach, pancetta, cilantro and even jalapenos for a little spice. I kept things simple and I just added chives. Whisk until all combined and smooth. About 1 to 2 minutes and set aside.
• By now your sweet potato cups should be ready. Take them out of the oven and place the bacon into the cups. Another way is to just add the bits of bacon into the egg. *The next step requires you to leave the oven on and raise the temperature to 425 degrees.
• Pour the scrambled egg mixture into the mini muffin cups(I use a spoon or a small cup). Try not to overflow the muffin cups. Place them into the oven and bake for about 10 minutes or until eggs are set. If you are making the larger version of muffins, bake them for 20 minutes or until eggs look fully cooked.

READY-TO-GO EGG BITES

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chorizo and onion and cook, stirring often, until the onion is soft and the chorizo is fully cooked, 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain the excess grease. Set aside to cool.
• Combine the eggs, heavy cream, sour cream, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Whisk until light and fluffy, about 1 minute.
• Generously coat the cups of a silicone egg bites mold (you can find them online!) with cooking spray. Divide the cheese among the cups. Divide the chorizo and onion among the cups. Then fill the cups with the egg mixture, leaving a little space at the top.
• Multi-cooker directions: Set the trivet in a multi-cooker, then carefully pour 1 cup water into the pot. Cover the mold snugly with foil and carefully lower it onto the trivet.
• Secure the lid on the multi-cooker and set the pressure valve to sealing. Press the steam button and set it to 10 minutes. (Note: It will take several minutes for the pressure to build, after which the 10-minute timer will automatically start counting down.)
• After the 10 minutes are up, let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, then use the handle of a wooden spoon to move the valve to venting, which will let the rest of the pressure release quickly.
• When the pressure is fully released, carefully remove the lid. Remove the silicone mold from the machine. Peel back the foil and turn the egg bites onto a plate. They should pop right out!
• Standard oven directions: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Pour water into a 9-by-13-inch baking dish until it's halfway full. Set the mold in the baking dish, then cover the baking dish with foil. Bake until the eggs are set, about 1 hour. Let the mold sit in the water for 10 minutes before removing the egg bites from the mold.
• Freezing and reheating instructions: Freeze by placing the bites on a lightly greased sheet pan or plate and freeze for 45 minutes. Transfer to a plastic zipper bag and return to the freezer.
• To reheat 1 or 2 bites, wrap in a paper towel and microwave for 1 minute. Let sit for 1 minute before eating.
