Tips
- Freshly shredded cheese melts more smoothly and gives the best texture.
- Egg bites continue cooking slightly after removing from the oven, so avoid overbaking them.
- Be sure to thoroughly coat the muffin wells, so they release easily.
- Cool the bites for a few minutes before removing them to ensure they hold their shape.
