  • Refrigerate for up to 3 days, or cool to room temperature and freeze in zip-lock bags for up to 1 month.

Notes

Nutritional information is for one egg bite. Figure 2 egg bites per person.
Egg bites are best with a slightly creamy center, so don't overcook them!
Egg bites will last about one month in the freezer if well wrapped.
Canned chiles can be used as well. You'll need about 6 ounces or 3/4 cup.
