Tips
- For extra flavor, consider adding diced bell peppers or chopped herbs like chives to your egg mixture.
- Use freshly shredded cheese for the best melting quality and flavor.
- Allow the egg bake to cool slightly before cutting to ensure clean, neat squares.
- For a spicier kick, choose a hot pico de gallo or add a dash of hot sauce.
- You can prepare the egg bake the night before and reheat in the morning for a quick breakfast.
- Experiment with different cheese types like pepper jack, cheddar, or a Mexican blend.
- If you prefer a lighter version, use egg whites or a combination of whole eggs and egg whites.
- Ensure your oven is properly preheated for even cooking and the best texture.
