Start by cracking 6 eggs into a bowl, checking each one for freshness before adding it to the mixture.

Add 3/4 cup of cheddar cheese and 3/4 cup of parmesan cheese to the eggs.

Add 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder and 1/4 teaspoon of onion powder to the mixture.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt and some fresh cracked pepper to taste.

Blend the egg mixture until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.

Remove the blender blade and stir in 1/2 cup of chopped deli-style ham and 1/4 cup of chopped spinach (using frozen spinach cubes if desired).

Prepare silicone muffin molds by spraying them with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Pour the egg mixture into the silicone muffin molds, filling them to the top as they do not rise during baking.

Place the silicone molds on a baking sheet for support and bake in the oven at 300°F for about 30 minutes.

Check the egg bites for doneness; they should be set and not jiggly in the center.

Carefully remove the egg bites from the silicone molds after baking, allowing them to cool slightly before serving.
