Egg Bites Recipe: Ingredients & Substitutions
- These egg bites are highly customizable to your specific tastes! Here are some notes about the ingredients.
- Bacon. Turkey bacon can be used in place of regular bacon. However, because of the lower fat content, you will need to add 1 Tablespoon olive oil to the fry pan when you add the veggies to cook them well. You can also use crumbled breakfast sausage in place of bacon with equally delicious results! If you wish to leave out the bacon and make this vegetarian, use 2 Tablespoon olive oil to sauté t…
- Minced garlic. Garlic powder can be used in place of minced garlic, just add it with the rest of the spices.
- Onion. I usually use a sweet, white onion. Any variety works well: red onion, yellow onion, green onions, etc.
- Vegetables. Choose your favorite veggies! Bell peppers, broccoli, shredded zucchini, carrots, etc.
- Dijon mustard. Any mustard variety works well in these egg muffins!
- Eggs. there is no substituions for eggs!
- Cheddar cheese. I recommend an extra sharp cheddar cheese for the best flavor! Other cheeses that taste great in this egg muffin recipe are: Colby jack, Swiss cheese, pepper jack (for a spicy flavor) and mozzarella!
