Servings: 6
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 35 minutes
Ingredients:
9 eggs
3 strips bacon
1/4 cup vegan cheese
1/4 bell pepper, chopped
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tbsp dried parsley
1 tbsp olive oil
Pinch of crushed red pepper
Salt and pepper to taste
Preparation
1. Heat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Place 12 silicone cupcake cups (or one silicone muffin tin) in a glass baking dish. Grease cups or muffin tins with olive oil.
3. Fry bacon to desired crispness. Then, lightly saute the bell pepper in the bacon grease. Crumble bacon and set aside.
4. In a medium mixing bowl, combine all ingredients. Mix well.
5. Ladle about 1/4 cup of egg mixture into each muffin or cupcake cup.
6. Pour water into the baking dish, taking care not to spill any into the egg mixture. When the water nearly reaches the tops of the cups (or when they begin to float), the level is sufficient.
7. Bake for 35 minutes.
8. Enjoy!
Tip: Egg bits will keep in the refrigerator for several days. You can also freeze them for longer storage. Reheat refrigerated egg bites in the microwave on high for 30 seconds; heat frozen egg bites for one minute.
