- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1/3 cup shallots, minced

Directions
Step 1 –Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Step 2 –Brush the reserved bacon grease on the inside of each of the cups of a 12-cup muffin tin.
Step 3 –In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together until fully combined.
Step 4 –Stir in the melted butter, the shallots, 3 tablespoons of the chives, the Gruyère cheese, and the Creole seasoning until well-combined.
Step 5 –Spoon the egg mixture into the cups of the prepared muffin tin, stirring in between to keep the add-ins evenly distributed and filling each cup about 3/4 of the way full.
Step 6 –Evenly add the cooked bacon pieces to each egg mixture in the muffin tin.
Step 7 –Using a fork, gently push the bacon around in each egg mixture to gently incorporate it.
Step 8 –Bake until the edges of each egg mixture are golden-brown, about 15-20 minutes.
Step 9 –Allow the egg bites to cool for 5 minutes.
Step 10 –Serve garnished with the extra chives.
