Egg bites have been my go-to breakfast for awhile now. After creating the smoothie recipe book, I needed a smoothie break. I still love smoothies and know that I’ll go back to smoothies sometime but right now, it’s bacon cheddar broccoli egg bites.
You can make these at the beginning of the week and have a quick, easy breakfast for each morning. They only take a couple of minutes to heat up in the microwave. They are also a great source of protein, vitamin B12, vitamin D, and choline.
Bacon Cheddar Broccoli Egg Bites
These egg bites make a great meal prep breakfast. They are high protein and low carb (so you may need to add a little extra carb with them at breakfast).
