Recipe Tips:
I love creating recipes that you can easily customize to your preferences and still have a delicious outcome. Here are a few tips/ideas for this recipe….
- I used whole milk for added flavor and creaminess, you can lower the fat content by using a skim milk or your preference. It will still be super yummy!
- I used turkey bacon but you can use regular bacon or even chopped Canadian bacon
- The white cheddar has great sharp flavor and creaminess, but feel free to switch it up with your favorite cheese (mozzarella will lower the fat)
- Make sure to cook these turkey bacon egg bites until just set for the best texture
- To prevent sticking I love to use these silicone muffin liners
- Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days
