Tips

  • If freezing the egg bites: wrap each egg bite in parchment paper, place them in a freezer-grade container or freezer bag, and label it with the date frozen and the name of the food.
  • Reheating: unwrap the frozen egg bite, place the egg bite on a microwave-safe plate with a paper towel under it to catch the excess liquid, and reheat for 1 to 1:30 minutes. Place egg bite on a toast English muffin.
