Can I freeze these egg bites?

Absolutely! Let them cool completely first, then freeze in a single layer before transferring to a freezer bag. They'll keep for 2 months. To reheat, just microwave frozen for 45-60 seconds with a damp paper towel on top.

How can I make them less spicy?

Easy! Just skip the red pepper flakes or cut them down to 1/8 tsp. You can also swap in sweet paprika for color without the heat. My niece loves when I make her "mild version" this way.

Why did my egg bites deflate?

Don't worry - this happens if you overmix the eggs (they get too much air) or open the oven door too early. Just whisk gently and resist peeking until the 20-minute mark!

Can I use egg whites instead?

Sure thing! Swap the 6 whole eggs for 12 egg whites. They'll be slightly less rich but still delicious. Add an extra pinch of salt since yolks add flavor.
