Bacon & Cheese Egg Bites

Jump to Recipe

These Bacon & Cheese Egg Bites are quick, easy and oh so tasty! They can be made ahead for on-the-go breakfasts or to feed a hungry crowd.

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. I’ve also made them for several morning breakfast events and for friends who’ve had babies or are in the process of moving. They always get rave reviews and I get so many requests for the recipe that it’s about time I share it here. 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.

    These look so yummy. Do they freeze and reheat well? If so, what’s the best way to freeze them? I was thinking of making them for a freezer meal exchange. Thanks!

      Hi Megan! Yes, great idea! If you want to freeze the bites, let them cool completely then wrap each bite individually in plastic wrap and transfer to a large freezer zip lock bag. You can freeze them for up to a month. To serve from freezer, either thaw overnight in the fridge then re-warm in microwave or oven, or take directly from the freezer to the microwave and heat until thawed and warmed. Remove from the plastic wrap before placing in microwave! Enjoy!

        How long would you recommend reheating in the oven?

        February 6, 2022 at 7:47 am

        Hi Maddy! Great question! I would recommend reheating them in a 350 degree oven for 3-5 minutes. You can wrap them in foil to keep them moist or leave them uncovered for a crisper texture. Hope this helps. Enjoy!

    I love these. Was addicted to Starbuck’s egg bites but these are easy and so much less expensive. I suggest putting the mini muffin pan in a large ziplock bag to freeze them, and then transfer them to a freezer bag after they are frozen to save freezer space and time wrapping them individually. Thanks for the recipe.

    Hi Meagan,

    Thanks for this delicious recipe I’m going to make them today. I’ve been eating the ones from Starbucks and they can be pricey if you eat them every day like I do now that I’m pregnant it really is all I want in the morning.

    I have a question: Should I cook the bacon first for a little bit before mixing it?

    Thanks 🙂

    I need clarification on the cheese, you state a cup and a half of monterey jack & cheddar cheese, but then state divided. Does that mean 3/4 cups of each?

    Reply
    • Maegan says

      May 29, 2019 at 5:25 pm

      Hi Karla! When I say divided it means that the ingredient is used in different parts of the instructions for the recipe. So in this recipe, you mix 1 cup in with the egg mixture and the remaining 1/2 cup is sprinkled over the top of the egg bites before they’re baked. So 1 and 1/2 cups of cheese total, just divided and used differently in the recipe. Hope this helps clarify. Enjoy!

      Hi Renata! I’m not sure what could have gone wrong if you followed all of the ingredients and instructions exactly. They’ll fluff and rise a bit as they bake, but they usually settle back down once they’re removed from the oven.

    My husband and I both give 5 stars! They were so soft on the inside. I’ve tried other recipes, but this will be our go-to now! We are a milk-free family due to milk allergies, and Daiya cheese with Extra Creamy Planet Oat Oatmilk worked perfectly! I used parchment muffin liners, and this recipe created 10 full-sized muffins. They slid right out of the muffin liners, and not one was left. Thank you so much for this wonderful recipe!
