📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat your oven to 325°F. Lightly spray a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking oil, ensuring even coating on the bottom and sides of each cup.
2
In a large mixing bowl, crack all 8 large eggs. Whisk until yolks and whites are fully combined and slightly frothy.

5
Divide the egg mixture evenly among the 12 prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
6
Place a shallow pan filled with about 1 inch of hot water on the lower oven rack to create a water bath.
7
Carefully place the filled muffin tin on the upper oven rack, directly above the water bath.
8
Bake for 23 to ⏱️ 25 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are slightly jiggly. A toothpick inserted should come out clean or with a tiny bit of custard.
9
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the egg bites cool in the pan for 3 to ⏱️ 5 minutes.
10
Run a thin knife around the edges of each cup to loosen, then gently pop or tip each egg bite out onto a plate.
11
Serve immediately, or store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to two months.
