Make these easy, fluffy egg bites in a muffin tin. They are perfect for meal prep, offering a high-protein breakfast you can grab quickly during busy mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream or milk
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
  • 1/4 cup cooked, crumbled bacon or diced ham (optional)
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped spinach or bell pepper (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin or use silicone liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
  3. If using mix-ins, divide the cheese, meat, and vegetables evenly among the muffin cups.
  4. Carefully pour the egg mixture over the fillings in each cup, filling them about three-quarters full. Do not overfill.
  5. Bake for 18 to 22 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.
  6. Remove the tin from the oven and let the egg bites cool in the tin for 5 minutes before carefully removing them.
  7. Store cooled egg bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days for easy meal prep. Reheat in the microwave for 30 to 60 seconds.

Notes

  • For a creamier texture, use heavy cream instead of milk.
  • You can substitute the bacon or ham with cooked sausage or sautéed mushrooms for variety.
  • These protein-packed eggs freeze well. Place cooled bites in a freezer-safe bag and reheat directly from frozen, adding a few extra seconds to the microwave time.
