EGG BITES RECIPE

 This recipe is being passed around my quilt group with good results.  Everyone that has tried it likes it and you can freeze the results, so it's never wasted.

Ingredients:   Makes 12

3 Slices bread, your choice, crusts trimmed away, cubed in 1 inch pieces

1/2 Lb Pork Sausage Meat, cooked.  Or frozen sausage patties or links, cooked and cut into small pcs.

4 Oz. Cheddar Cheese, grated

8 Eggs

1 1/2 Cups Milk

1 teaspoon Salt

1 teaspoon Oregano

1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper

Options:  Cooked hash brown potatoes in small bits, small pieces spinach, or any veggie of your choice, cut very small.

Preheat your Oven to 350 degrees F

Use Silicone muffin pans or Silicone liners.

If you use non-stick pans you need to spray them well, otherwise your pans will be difficult to clean.  With silicones, even without any spray or oil, they pop right out.

 First..... Distribute the bread pieces on the bottom.

Next, add some cooked Sausage to each cup.

For the next step I added some Hash Browns but you can eliminate those or add some veggie your prefer, like spinach.

This was topped off with the grated Cheddar cheese.

Next is the Egg and Milk Mixture....

In a measuring bowl break 8 eggs, add 1 1/2 Cups Milk, also the pepper, salt and onion powder.  Whisk well to incorporate fully.

This is poured over your muffin cups evenly, but leave a little space at the top because the milk mixture will rise as it cooks.

To finish, place muffin pans in 350*F Oven for 25-30 minutes to cook through.

The result in a dozen muffin-sized Egg Bites.  You can freeze these to use later.  Just allow to defrost overnite in the fridge and microwave 30-60 seconds before enjoying. 

Or you can save in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Enjoy.
