Freezing - to freeze, let the egg bites cool completely, then place them in a single layer on a baking sheet to freeze individually before transferring them to a freezer bag. They can be reheated in the microwave for a quick breakfast.
Customization - feel free to experiment with different vegetables and cheese, like mushrooms, tomato or feta, to create your perfect combination.
