Well, I’ve been meaning to share this super simple little breakfast recipe with you guys for like a year. My Easy Egg Bites aren’t fancy, but they’re so versatile and the perfect mix and match recipe. In the pic here, I’ve used turkey sausage, chopped green onions and Parmesan cheese, but we’ve also used pimentos (just drain a jar!), cheddar, Monty Jack, bacon, chopped ham, bell pepper…I could go on! Here’s the only thing that hasn’t worked for me…egg whites. I’ve tried them several times, and they just don’t hold up like whole eggs do. For this recipe, you’re getting one egg per egg bite. If you’re not enjoying all of these the day you make them, pop them in the freezer and then just reheat them in the microwave later on. Your kids are going to be spoiled by these little bites of goodness!
Enjoy! xo

Easy Egg Bites
- Yield: a dozen bites
Description
These little egg bites are super versatile and very delicious! This isn’t even a recipe, just more of an idea for your next breakfast.
Ingredients
- 1 dozen eggs
- protein of your choice (like browned sausage, crispy bacon, diced ham)
- about 1 cup or so of shredded cheese (Parm, cheddar, Monty Jack)
- diced veggies (green onions, cilantro, bell pepper, red onion, etc)
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
- Lightly spray with cooking spray a 12-count muffin tin. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together your eggs. Next, stir in your protein, cheese and veggies along with a big pinch of both salt and pepper.
- Carefully pour your mixture (sometimes, I use a small measuring cup to scoop) into your prepared muffin tins (un-lined). Pour each one about ¾ full.
- Once the tins are filled, pop these egg bites in your oven to bake about 15 to 18 minutes (or until lightly browned on the edges and not wobbly in the middle).
- Remove muffin tin and allow egg bites to cool 5 minutes before removing.
- Either serve immediately or you can freeze them in a freezer bag and then just microwave them when you’re ready to enjoy.
Notes
These muffin bites are so versatile and can be frozen and re-heated at a later time. I have not had luck using egg whites instead of whole eggs.

Thanks Shay for this recipe! I’ve been wanting to try some, but everyone says, “it’s so easy, not really a recipe.” I like to at least have a little guidance! Your’s is perfect!
Mallory says
How long do you microwave for when reheating? Thanks!
Mix and Match Mama says
Typically 30 to 40 seconds!

Looking forward to making these. While I do like the egg frittata’s from Trader Joes, I always have to add a slice of bacon or sausage. This will be so much easier. Thanks!
Peggy says
What a great, simple recipe that can make for smooth running mornings. I would love to see you do a blog post on freezing foods. That’s where I always seem to flop.
Cherry says
I’d like to see a post like this too!

Hi Shay, just want to recommend a silicone muffin pan for egg cups/bites. I’ve made egg bites in a regular muffin pan and and no matter how much I spray the pan some of the egg sticks to the pan. With a silicon muffin pan you don’t need to spray and the egg cups/bites pop right out without getting stuck to the pan! Clean up was soooo much easier!

Have you ever tried making these in the instant pot? They really come out like the sous vide egg bites at Starbucks! We also add cottage cheese to ours (I’m not a fan of cottage cheese typically) to make them a little creamier!

You know, I’ve lost interest in my Instant Pot, so I haven’t!
Tracy says
You can also freeze in silicone cups before baking and pop one in the air fryer in the morning for 14 minutes at 325 degrees. Delicious!
Nicole says
Can’t wait to try these! Any thoughts on how you’d hear frozen ones up in the air fryer? Time and temp? Thanks!! 🙂

I haven’t tried them in the AF yet! I would probably only do it for 3 or 4 minutes at the most though!
