I revisited Kirk’s daily egg bites by adding Greek yogurt for more protein. The bites are low-carb and -high-protein, with an egg souffle texture.
These bites are vegetarian as prepared; feel free to use them as a base and sprinkle them on the top before baking finely chopped cooked meats or roasted vegetables for more depth.
