7. Add Optional Ingredients: Fold in any additional ingredients like chopped bacon, sausage, or spinach if desired.
8. Fill the Muffin Tin: Pour the egg mixture evenly into each muffin cup, filling them about ¾ full.
9. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the egg bites are set and lightly golden on top.
10. Cool: Remove from the oven and allow the egg bites to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes.
11. Remove from Tin: Gently run a knife around the edges of each egg bite and pop them out of the muffin tin.
