Ingredients
- 12 large Egg Whites
- 4 slices Turkey Bacon
- 1 cup, shredded Gruyere Cheese
- 0.5 cup Fat-free Milk
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Chives
- 1 as needed Non-stick Cooking Spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
Step 2
Lightly spray a muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray to prevent the egg bites from sticking.
Step 3
Cook the turkey bacon in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until it's crisp. Once cooked, place the strips on a paper towel to remove any excess grease and then chop into small pieces.
Step 4
In a large bowl, whisk together the egg whites, fat-free milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 5
Gently fold the shredded Gruyere cheese, chopped turkey bacon, and chives into the egg mixture.
Step 6
Pour the egg mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
Step 7
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the egg bites are set and lightly golden on top.
Step 8
Remove the egg bites from the oven and let them cool slightly before removing them from the muffin tin.
Step 9
Serve warm and enjoy, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave for 30-45 seconds before serving.
