These Bacon Egg & Cheese Bites are quick, easy and oh so tasty! They can be made ahead for on-the-go breakfasts or to feed a hungry crowd.
I have made these bacon egg & cheese 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.
All you do is whisk 7 eggs in a large bowl until smooth and then add some milk, salt, cheese and real bacon bits. Divide the mixture into 24 mini muffin cups and sprinkle with some more cheese before baking to fluffy, cheesy, bacon-y, deliciousness.
Both kids and adults gobble them up. A great savory option for breakfast or brunch. Enjoy!

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!
