Bacon Cheddar Egg Bites
Equipment
Ingredients
- 8 whole eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 1/2 cup cheese; divided
- 6-8 slices bacon; cooked and crumbled (about 1 cup)
- 1/4 cup bell peppers; diced
- 1 Tbsp. fresh chives; finely chopped
- salt + pepper; for taste
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees F. Whisk together the eggs and milk until incorporated. Add the bacon, 1 cup of cheese, bell peppers, chives and season with salt and pepper. Mix together until well combined.
- Grease a muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray. Carefully fill each muffin cup about 3/4th of the way full with the egg mixture. Evenly distribute the remaining cheese on top of the muffin cups. Bake for 18-20 minutes until fluffy and the tops start to turn golden. Once the bites are baked, let them cool for a few minutes and gently lift each egg bite out with a table knife. Store in an airtight container for up to a week. Enjoy!
Dried or fresh chives?
Hi Christopher! I always prefer fresh chives for maximum flavor.
The other cheese? You said cheese divided. One cup in n the other half cup?
Hi Jan,
You can use any cheese you desire. For the recipe I prefer cheddar cheese. I use 1 cup for the egg mixture and the other 1/2 cup to top the muffin cups. I hope this helps, I’ve also adjusted the recipe. Thanks so much!

Can i freeze these and warm them up later? If so how do you recommend warming them?
Hi Brittany! Great question, yes you definitely can! To freeze the egg bites, be sure to cool them completely and then wrap each bite individually in plastic wrap and transfer to a large ziplock bag. They will last up to 2 months in the freezer. To serve from the freezer, thaw them out overnight by placing them overnight in the refrigerator and reheat in the microwave (or oven). You can also defrost them directly from the freezer by placing frozen egg bites in the microwave and heating until thawed and completely warm. *Be sure to remove plastic wrap before microwaving! 🙂
