Make these easy muffin tin egg bites for a quick, healthy breakfast solution perfect for busy mornings or meal prep throughout the week. These protein-packed bites are simple to customize.

Ingredients

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

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, milk or cream, salt, and pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
  3. Distribute your mix-ins evenly among the muffin cups. Add about 1 tablespoon of meat, 1 teaspoon of cheese, and a sprinkle of vegetables to each cup.
  4. Carefully pour the egg mixture over the fillings in each cup, filling them about three-quarters full. Do not overfill.
  5. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Let the egg bites cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before carefully removing them.
  7. Serve warm immediately, or cool completely before storing for meal prep.

Notes

  • For a low-carb option, skip any bread or starchy fillers.
  • These egg bites reheat well in the microwave in 30-second intervals.
  • You can use cottage cheese instead of milk for extra protein.
