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.

Can you use sm cupcake liners??
Hi Lois! Yes, you can definitely use the mini cupcake liners when baking these bites. Enjoy!
Yum! These were so easy and I had a silicone heart shape mold so they turned out cute and delicious. Thanks for the recipe!
Hi, Amy! Aw, I love that you made them heart shaped. So happy that they were easy and you enjoyed them. Thank you for sharing!
I add baking powder to the egg mix. It helps the eggs fluff up, or rise.
How much baking powder?
Super simple, super delicious!
Hi, PJ! So happy you enjoy them!
Thank you for the great recipe. They were perfect for morning get together.
Hi, Deana! So happy they worked out! ❤️
These are so good! Perfect flavor & texture and easy to make! I added about 1/2 cup of cottage cheese to the mixture to add a bit more protein. Will definitely be adding this into my meal rotation!
