# What you'll need:

→ Eggs & Dairy

01 - 8 large eggs
02 - 1/3 cup whole milk
03 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

04 - 1/2 cup cooked bacon bits (approximately 5-6 strips, chopped)

# Method:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs and milk until well combined and slightly frothy.
03 - Stir in shredded cheddar cheese, bacon bits, ranch seasoning mix, and green onions if using. Season with salt and pepper, accounting for the saltiness of the ranch mix and bacon.
04 - Evenly divide the egg mixture among the 12 muffin cups, filling each approximately three-quarters full.
05 - Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the egg bites are puffed, set in the center, and lightly golden.
06 - Let cool for 2-3 minutes before running a knife around the edges to release from the tin. Serve warm.
