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.

I love these egg bites! The cheese and bacon are perfect! Thank you so much, my three teens love them!
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?
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!
This is for Tami Gorman. I eat keto. As long as you substitute the milk with almond milk or heavy cream it works just fine for keto! Yeah!
I would say they are very keto friendly especially if you exchange the milk for heavy cream!
Any suggestions for time and oven temp if I wanted to make them larger, in a standard 12 count muffin pan?
Hi Lindsay! You’ll bake them at the same oven temp (350 degrees), but for about 30 minutes total. Enjoy!
I added sausage and potatos and cooked them in a standard size muffin pan for 30 mins. Came out perfectly.
i love that idea. did you cook the sausage and potatoes prior to adding to the recipe?
Can you use unsweetened almond milk instead of regular milk?
Hi Ashley! I have no experience with unsweetened almond milk so I couldn’t say for sure. Sorry.
Thanks for the recipe! Would it work if using regular size muffin trays, or are mini trays really needed?
Hi Lauren! Yes, they’ll just need to bake a little longer. Enjoy!
These turned out amazing ! Can’t wait to see what else I can mix with them ! Thank you
So great to hear, Greg! They’re so easy and everyone always loves them. Mixing them up with other add-ins is a great idea. Enjoy!
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 🙂
Hi Yanai! Congrats! These are so perfect for eating during pregnancy. Great protein! Yes, the bacon should be cooked first. Enjoy and best wishes!
