Latin Heat Fajita Appetizer Bars
This recipe for egg bites is basically little tiny frittatas you can serve easily at a party or cut into larger bar size (shown in this picture) for a brunch serving. They are delicious hot or cold and great as leftover breakfast-on-the-go.
We recommend a particular glass pan and a skillet we LOVE that we use in this post. We may be paid for this recommendation.
This appetizer bar is perfect for a holiday party with the red and green peppers. Or a party or brunch anytime. It's slightly spicy. Feel free to adjust the amount of Latin Heat to vary the heat level.
