Notes
- Eggs: Grab a carton of egg whites from the store to save time.
- Roasted Red Bell Peppers: Make sure to dry them thoroughly before adding into the mix.
- Find a spout. Mix the ingredients in a bowl or large measuring cup with a spout to make if much easier to pour.
- Muffin Tins: Make sure you're using a relatively new, scratch-free muffin tin that has been liberally coated in non-stick cooking spray so the bites do not stick.
- Fillings: You can choose just about anything from meat to cheese to veggies to put inside.
- Prep-Ahead: Purchase egg whites to save time. Chop vegetables up to 1-2 days before or shred cheese up to 3-5 days before.
- Storage: Place bites in an airtight container and keep in the fridge for up to 3-5 days.
- Freezing: Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and store in the freezer for up to 2-3 months.
- Reheating: Cover bites in a damp paper towel and warm in microwave until heated through.
