Recipe Notes
Tips to making Zucchini Quinoa Egg Bites:
- Preferably use a silicone mini muffin pan- It makes it so much easier for egg bites to bake in these kind of pans. It’s also very easy to pop the egg bites right out after they are done baking.
- If you are using a silicone muffin pan, place it over a baking sheet pan- Silicone pans are very flimsy making it hard to transfer from the counter to the oven. Place it over a baking sheet pan for easier use.
- Allow muffin pan to cool-down until it can be handled- This will make it easy to pop the egg bites out. It will also allow the egg bites to settle and finish cooking as they cool down.
