Recipe Ingredients

• 1 tbsp Olive Oil
• 4 oz Deli Roast Beef, chopped
• 1/2 medium Green Bell Pepper, finely diced
• 1/4 medium Yellow Onion, finely diced
• 8 large Eggs
• 4 oz Cream Cheese, softened
• 1 cup Shredded Provolone Cheese, divided
• 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
• 1/2 tsp Worcestershire Sauce
• 1/4 tsp Salt
• 1/4 tsp Black Pepper

How To Make

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced green bell pepper and yellow onion and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring often, until softened and lightly charred. Add the chopped roast beef and cook for 1 to 2 minutes more until warmed through. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 2

Preheat your oven to 350F. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin generously with cooking spray.

Step 3

In a blender, combine the eggs, cream cheese, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Blend until completely smooth.

Step 4

Pour the egg mixture into a large bowl. Fold in the sauteed pepper, onion, and roast beef mixture along with 3/4 cup of the shredded provolone.

Step 5

Divide the mixture evenly among the 12 muffin cups. Top each egg bite with the remaining provolone, pressing it gently onto the surface.

Step 6

Bake for 22 to 25 minutes, until puffed, set in the center, and the provolone on top is beautifully melted and bubbly.

Step 7

Cool in the tin for 5 minutes before carefully removing. These deliver all the classic Philly cheesesteak flavors in a perfectly portioned, protein-packed bite.

Tips

Blend the Egg Mixture Until It’s Silky Smooth

The cream cheese is the tricky part here. If it’s not blended well enough, you’ll get little white lumps of cream cheese scattered through your egg bites instead of that smooth, creamy texture you want.

Let the blender run for a solid 20-30 seconds after it looks smooth. You want it to be completely uniform with zero visible chunks.

Also, make sure your cream cheese is actually softened before it goes in. Cold cream cheese straight from the fridge won’t break down easily and you’ll fight with it in the blender.

Let the Filling Cool Before Folding It In

After you cook the peppers, onions, and roast beef, give that mixture a good 5-10 minutes to cool down before you fold it into the egg mixture.

If you dump it in while it’s still hot, it can start cooking the raw eggs unevenly. That means some of the egg will set into little cooked bits before everything even goes in the oven, and the texture won’t be as smooth and consistent.

Grease the Muffin Tin Really Well

Egg bites are notorious for sticking. A light spray won’t cut it here. You want every cup coated generously, including the flat surface between the cups where the eggs might bubble over slightly.

If you have silicone muffin molds, this is the perfect time to use them. Egg bites pop right out of silicone with zero effort. If you only have a metal tin, consider using paper liners sprayed with cooking spray as a backup plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a silicone muffin mold instead of a metal muffin tin?

Absolutely, and many people actually prefer silicone for egg bites because they pop out so much easier without sticking. You won’t even need cooking spray if you go with silicone.

Just place the silicone mold on a baking sheet before filling it so it’s stable when you move it in and out of the oven. Baking time stays about the same, but keep an eye on them since silicone can sometimes cook a touch slower.
