Baked Egg Bites - Meal Planning Breakfast

My husband Brian asked me to start doing some meal prep for him so he can have easy breakfast and lunches through out the week. The goal is for it to be easy to reheat and healthy. My first attempt at this are these baked egg bites. They're super simple to make and even easier to reheat. The best part is that the egg bites can be filled with any items you would put into an omelet so feel free to change it up or customize this dish to your tastes. 

Ingredients: 
(This is for a single egg bite so multiple as needed)
1 egg 
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
up to 1 Tbsp of toppings (I did chopped bell pepper, bacon, and cheese)

Directions:

1. Preheat an oven to 375. Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners. 

2. In a large measuring cup add your eggs and whisk with a fork until well scrambled. Season with salt and pepper. 

3. Evenly pour the egg mix into each cupcake liner. You want it to come up about 1/2 to 2/3 of the way up the liner. 

4. Add toppings to each egg cup and then top with a sprinkle of cheese. (If you're making these for a family with different flavor desires, you can mix and match your toppings as you like.)

5. Bake for 15-20 minutes until the eggs are just set. I start checking on them at about 10 minutes and look every 3 minutes after. You can give the pan a small jiggle to see if the eggs are cooked through. 

You can eat as is right from the oven. If you're doing meal prep - allow to cool on the counter for about 30 minutes until eggs are room temp. Place them in a ziplock bag or air tight container. 

To reheat: microwave on high for 15 seconds. If it's not hot enough microwave an extra 15 seconds. Try to not microwave it too much as it may explode in the microwave.
