Toddler Egg Cheddar Biscuit Bites
- Scoop a small portion (about ½ tbsp) of the biscuit dough and place into the bottom of each cup of the mini muffin pan. Alternate filling the cups with a small scoop of the egg mixture and the biscuit dough until each cup is approximately ⅔ cup full.
- Bake egg cheddar biscuit bites for 10 minutes.
- Once the egg cheddar biscuit bites are done baking, remove them from the oven and immediately brush the tops with the garlic butter topping.
- Allow the egg cheddar biscuit bites to cool briefly for about 5 to 10 minutes and then remove from the mini muffin pan and set on a cooling rack to finish cooling.
Notes
– Storage: Once the egg cheddar biscuit bites have cooled completely you can wrap them individually in plastic wrap and place them into an airtight freezer-friendly plastic baggie. These can be stored in the freezer for 2 to 3 months. I have also just placed them directly into the baggie and not used the plastic wrap but the quality is a bit better when wrapped in the plastic wrap and you do not run the risk of the bites unwantedly sticking together.
– Reheating: My preferred method for reheating egg cheddar biscuit bites is warming them in a toaster oven for around 10 to 15 minutes. I find the texture to be the best especially if your toddler is a slow eater the texture will last. If you need to reheat quickly then you can reheat the bites in the microwave for approximately 15 to 30 seconds, or until heated through. I do find wrapping them in a damp paper towel can help with texture. If you reheat the bites in the microwave, the bottoms of the eggs might become tough if not eaten relatively quickly especially if heated too much.
Layering: When it comes to filling the mini muffin pan with the biscuit dough and the egg mixture I highly recommend using the biscuit dough first using it on the bottom of each cup. The biscuit on the bottom of each bite acts similar to a pie crust keeping everything together. I also find that when it comes to reheating, the eggs on the bottom can become a little tough but the biscuit on the base reheats perfectly. They work either way and will taste great, but this is what I prefer.
Additional Serving Options: As previously stated, you can make the egg bites only, make drop biscuit bites only, or you can make the egg and biscuit bites combined and either do plain biscuits, cheesy biscuits, or garlic cheddar biscuits. I have a recipe for the egg bites only if you are looking for a simpler recipe to follow if you decide to forego the tasty biscuits.
