Notes

For extra flavor, add cinnamon directly into the egg mixture. Make sure the skillet is hot enough for a good sear on the bites. Experiment with various toppings, such as nuts or chocolate chips. Store leftover bites in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
