Inroduction
About this Recipe
Eggs come in all colors. The color of the shell does not influence nutritional value; different breeds of chickens lay different colors of eggs.
If you buy eggs at the store, you can choose from different sizes and grades of eggs. Many recipes that call for eggs are using large eggs (unless otherwise specified). The grade of the egg has to do with the shape of the yolk, and how much the white spreads when the egg is cracked.
For this recipe, we will be mixing the eggs (grade isn’t as important here). We used large eggs. Once made, these egg bites will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Be sure to cover the leftovers before putting them away!
