Egg Bite Customizations
You can substitute the goat cheese for feta cheese or any other cheese you have on hand. Cheddar, parmesan and even mozzarella would work!
I like to sneak in some greens to these egg bites. My favorite to use is kale but you can use anything such as spinach or broccoli.
Bell pepper adds a nice sweetness and variety of nutrients but can be omitted.
One of the best parts about this recipe is that you can add or take away any ingredients to please your taste buds!
