Create easy, protein-packed egg bites perfect for quick breakfasts or meal prepping for the week. These savory bites use simple ingredients and bake in a muffin tin for convenient portions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk or unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (Cheddar, Monterey Jack, or Gruyere)
  • 1/2 cup cooked, crumbled sausage or chopped cooked bacon (optional)
  • 1/2 cup chopped spinach or bell peppers (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup standard muffin tin or use silicone liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the 12 large eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until completely combined and slightly frothy. This step helps create a lighter texture.
  3. Stir in your chosen mix-ins, such as the shredded cheese, cooked sausage, and chopped vegetables. Distribute the mixture evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
  4. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the egg bites are set in the center and lightly golden around the edges. A knife inserted near the center should come out clean.
  5. Remove the tin from the oven and let the egg bites cool in the tin for 5 minutes before carefully removing them.
  6. For meal prep, store cooled egg bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave for 30-45 seconds.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, substitute milk with heavy cream in this protein packed breakfast recipe.
  • You can prepare the mix-ins the night before to save time on busy mornings.
  • These savory egg appetizers freeze well; place cooled bites on a baking sheet to freeze solid, then transfer to a freezer bag.
