# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They're ready in 30 minutes flat, which means you can make a whole week's breakfast on a lazy Sunday without breaking a sweat.
  • High protein keeps you satisfied way past mid-morning, no energy crash required.
  • Perfect for meal prep because they actually taste just as good cold as they do warm.
02 -
  • Don't skip the resting time in the pan—those five minutes let the edges set properly so you don't end up with crumbly egg bites that fall apart when you pick them up.
  • The oven temperature matters more than you'd think; anything above 375°F will brown them too fast and dry out the centers.
03 -
  • Room temperature eggs blend smoother and incorporate more air, which gives you lighter, fluffier bites every single time.
  • Cook your bacon the night before and crumble it—one less thing to do in the morning when you're scrambling to get everything in the oven.
