Egg Bites

Breakfast is hard. Healthy, filling breakfast on a busy schedule is even harder. I started making these on a whim and have made them almost every week since February 2024. Grabbing a couple of these when rushing out the door for work in the morning has been great.

The most common ingredients I use are spinach, sausage, and shredded cheese. But I've also used diced tomatoes, green onions, diced ham, bacon, and everything bagel seasoning.
