frequently asked questions
these egg bites are extremely healthy, using high quality ingredients and high in protein. this recipe uses both whole eggs as well as liquid egg whites to increase the amount of protein while also having healthy fats.
these egg bites will last 3-5 days in the refrigerator or up to 1 month in the freezer
you can do that! it will change the flavor because a delicious richness is added from the whole eggs. however, if you do want to do this, for each whole egg you will instead use ¼ cup of liquid egg whites. if you don't have liquid egg whites, 2 eggs using only the whites will replace the 4 whole eggs.
you can definitely add milk to this recipe but it is not needed! since these eggs are baked, they come out fluffy and full of moisture. not to mention, the goat cheese adds an amazing creaminess to each bite.
just heat in the microwave for 30 seconds and you are good to go! this is an easy breakfast or lunch to bring to work as well that requires no extra effort.
