This recipe is the result of my efforts to make a lower calorie, higher protein version of Starucks's egg bites. These come out dry and spongy (likely because I've been mixing the ingredints in a blender). In my ideal recipe, they would have a custardy texture. I'm considering adding some egg yolks.
