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

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 LOVE this recipe and have been making it for several years now. I use half a package of spicy sausage sometimes too (instead of bacon) to switch things up. Both are delicious! I sometimes add a squirt of yellow mustard as well. The recipe is wonderful as is too. So easy, healthy, and delicious! Thanks for sharing.
Hi, Laurin! I am so happy to hear it’s become a favorite. Thank you for sharing your add-ins!
can these be frozen and reheated?
Teresa
Hi Teresa! Yes, they freeze and reheat great! 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 and then reheat in a warm oven or in the microwave for 20-30 seconds. Or you can heat them from frozen in the microwave on defrost mode for 1-2 minutes. I hope this helps and that you enjoy!
These were so good but they stuck horribly to my pans even though I sprayed them
Hi Lisa! I’m so glad you enjoyed them, but bummed they stuck to your pan so much. I would suggest spraying the pan more generously or using mini muffin cup liners to bake the bites in next time. I hope this helps and that you get to enjoy them again soon!
Yummy but I what are the nutritional values? I am trying to count my macros etc and calories?
Hi, Juliza! I don’t provide nutritional information at this time because everyone uses different brands of ingredients. To find out, I would recommend plugging the ingredients you use into a free online recipe nutrition calculator like: https://whisk.com/recipe-nutrition-calculator/ Hope this helps. Enjoy! ❤️
Loved this recipe! It did yield slightly more than 24, though I followed the recipe amounts exactly, but I’m not complaining. They popped right out of the muffin tin and will be a nice light breakfast, along with some fruit, for my mom and I on Christmas morning.
Hi Tina! Aww, yay! I’m so happy to hear and hope y’all enjoy! Merry Christmas!
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!
