A Quickie Breakfast that’s not Cereal!
I have made these bacon & cheese egg bites so many times lately I could make them in my sleep. They’re so simple and everyone loves them. I keep them stocked in the fridge for a quick grab & go breakfast throughout the week. Both kids and adults gobble them up. A great savory option for breakfast or brunch.

How to Make Bacon and Cheese Egg Bites
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 24-cup mini muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs until smooth. Add the salt, milk, 1 cup cheese and bacon bits and mix until well combined.
- Spoon the mixture into the mini muffin cups, filling each one 2/3 full. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup cheese evenly over filled muffin cups.
- Bake for 23-25 minutes or until the tops and edges start to turn golden. Let set in pan 5 minutes before gently lifting each one out with a table knife.

How to Store Bacon Egg and Cheese Bites
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat in a warm oven or in the microwave for 20-30 seconds.
They can also be stored in the freezer for up to 2 months. To freeze, let them cool completely and store sealed in a freezer safe bag or container. To serve, let them defrost in the refrigerator overnight or heat them in the microwave on defrost mode for 1-2 minutes

I just made these this morning. I needed to finish up a package of sausage so I just browned it up and used it instead of the bacon. I also only had Italian blend shredded cheese….wasn’t sure how it would turn out?!?! They are delish!! My son liked them too!! Will def be making these again! I did add a dash of garlic powder for some extra flavor. So good! Thanks for sharing the recipe!!
Hi Kim! Yum! I love how you adapted the recipe with ingredients you had on hand. I bet they tasted to great! Thank you for sharing!
