A cherished holiday tradition for many is a festive breakfast or brunch. And with the jam-packed event and entertaining schedule that the season brings, easy make-ahead dishes are the way to go.
These nutritious egg bites are a versatile breakfast hero: filled with nutrients from fresh veggies and protein from eggs and cheese, they're hearty enough to fuel a day of activities, and pretty enough to serve to guests. A bonus is that you can easily bake them ahead of time, store them in the refrigerator, then reheat them in the oven or microwave before serving.
