Instructions

• 1 If using dried black beans, remove any shrivelled or broken beans. Rinse under
  cold running water. Soak 1/2 cup dried beans in 1 1/2 cups of cool water
  overnight (8-12 hours). Rinse and strain. Next, combine soaked beans with water,
  bring to a boil and simmer for 60 to 90 minutes until beans reach desired
  tenderness. 
• 2 For a quick and easy method, simply substitute the dried beans with canned black
  beans. No need to soak or pre-cook canned beans. Canned black beans should be
  rinsed with cool running water and strained.
• 3 Preheat the oven to 350º F.
• 4 Using a large skillet saute the vegetables until slightly tender, about 5
  minutes.
• 5 Stir in the black beans and cook for additonal 2-3 minutes.
• 6 In a large bowl, using a fork, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt and pepper.
• 7 Stir in the bean and vegetable mixture.
• 8 Scoop about a 1/4 cup of the mixture into mini muffin pans. This recipe should
  make approximately 24 egg bites.
• 9 Top with shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
• 10 Bake in oven at 350º F for 20-25 minutes.
• 11 Serve warm or cool and refrigerate.
