Egg Bites are Super Easy for Breakfast
There is so much to love about egg bites. They are very quick to make in the morning or even quicker to pull premade from the freezer.
If you have picky eaters, you can easily customize them to fit your needs. I regularly ask my kids what they want in their egg bites and then they are much more likely to eat them. They also love to help make them too!
As a bonus, egg bites are great on the go. It’s hard to take a bowl of scrambled eggs to eat in your car, but it’s super easy to grab a few egg bites to eat on the way!
