- Lightly oil the cake pop maker cooking plates (this is important so they don't stick). Plug it in to preheat it. Pour the mixture into the cake pop maker cavities, close the lid and bake for 4-6 minutes or until golden and cooked through. I like to use a small spatula or spoon to remove them because the cake pop maker gets hot. Let them cool for a few minutes.
- Mix all of the sauce ingredients together.½ cup plain Greek yogurt, 1 teaspoon olive oil, 1 ½ teaspoons fresh lemon juice, fresh dill, salt and pepper
- Serve the egg bites with the yogurt sauce and more fresh dill if desired.
