COPYCAT STARBUCKS EGG BITES

Copycat Starbucks Egg Bites image

You can substitute Gruyere cheese for the Swiss and ham for the bacon, or add in small-cut veggies to these copycat Starbucks egg bites. I also like to bake these in small Mason jars for fun single-portion presentations. Serve with avocado slices and fresh fruit for a healthy breakfast. -Maria Morelli, West Kelowna, British Columbia
