Quick, Delicious Egg Bites Are Just a Microwave Button Away!
Eggs definitely do not get their due. Let’s think about eggs – they can be savory in an instant. They’re also the glue that binds sweet things together. Hard boiled or Deviled eggs can be the perfect snack. Egg salad sandwiches for a picnic are pretty much perfect. But where they really shine is breakfast.
While you may have visions of scrambled eggs and bacon on weekend mornings, there is no need to wait that long to have a delicious, delectable egg breakfast. And the best part is that you don’t even have to head to the deli or spend time in a drive-thru. All you need is our new Egg Bites pan, a microwave, some water and a little imagination.
This pan will make fluffy homemade egg bites in a flash for a great low carb, healthy snack or breakfast. Eat them straight from the microwave or make them ahead of time to store and eat on the go. All you have to do is whip up some eggs (up to four!), add your favorite fillings (cheese, please!), add some water into the pan cavity and in less than five minutes, you have the perfect breakfast, whether you’re working from home, driving into the office, walking the dog or fighting for position in the school drop-off line. It’s a great grab-and-go treat for kiddos on the way to school and perfect for college dorm cooking, too! Perfect, delicious, healthy egg bites make for happy mouths and full bellies.
The best part? You can customize them every morning, whether you’re eating solo or trying to create a healthy and fast meal for your family. Extra cheese, veggies, ham – the choices are only as limited as your own palate!
