Tips and Tricks
- If you want the Bacon Egg Bites to come out in one piece, use silicone or non-stick tin or muffin liners to prevent the bites from sticking.
- To mash the potato and egg mixture better, use a flat-bottom bowl or a deep plate to mash it easily. Add the bacon bits afterwards.
- Everyone’s ovens are slightly different, so keep an eye on them to prevent the egg from turning brown. If the side turns darker, it’s time to come out! The eggs should stay bright yellow. Otherwise, if overcooked, they will get rubbery.
- Better use pre-cooked potatoes from the day before, which contain less water.
- Spray your muffin tin lightly. Even if you use non-stick or muffin liners, they will slide right off this way. Paper liners, especially, can be sticky.
Baby Led-Weaning
These Breakfast Egg Bites are excellent for the little ones; omit the bacon bits to reduce sodium. Mozzarella is naturally lower in fat and sodium than most cheeses. It’s also a great source of protein, calcium, and phosphorus, making it a nutritious choice for supporting the overall health of toddlers and kids.
