Fast and easy homemade egg bites with just a few simple ingredients you already have in your house.
I am sure that I am not the only one who struggles to get a nutritious meal into my family on busy mornings. So I am very excited to introduce you to the fastest, tastiest, and easiest homemade egg bites you will ever make. These egg bites are nutritious and delicious. They are also very customizable so everyone in your house will be happy to eat these on a busy morning.
These are really yummy when you make them fresh. But, the best part about these egg bites is that you can make them ahead of time and reheat them for the perfect “on the go” breakfast.
There are a few reasons why these egg bites have become a staple in our household.
The first reason being that the ingredients are always in the house. I can make them very last minute or quickly on a Sunday evening to prepare for the week ahead.
Second, the process is fool proof! This recipe is so easy and quick. You can honestly throw everything into the bowl all at once, mix, pour and bake. Done!
Lastly, this recipe can be customized in so many different ways. Here are a few of my favorite combinations:
- Spinach and Feta
- Salsa
- Bacon and Cheese
- Ham and Cheese
- Peppers and Onions
- Try different herbs and spices. Ex. Oregano, Italian, Basil, Parsley
Ingredients
Eggs
12 Large Eggs works best. Think of it as basically one egg per muffin tin. There for if you were to double this recipe, you would use 24 eggs and fill 24 muffin tins.
Cheese
I like using Cheddar but you can use any combination of cheese that you would like. You can also omit the cheese if you want. I say 2 cups of cheese so that the muffin tins don’t overflow too much. However, if you love cheese, go ahead and add as much as you want!
Milk
Any milk will work. Adding milk keeps the egg bites moist.
Salt, Pepper and Additional Seasoning (optional)
Do these to taste. I enjoy trying new herbs and spices to see what new flavored egg bites I can come up with.
Step-By-Step Instructions
Final Thoughts and Tips
- Once you have baked these egg bites you can keep them in an air tight container for 5 days.
- You can freeze them for 5 months. Just put them in the fridge to thaw the night before you want eat them.
- These are great for guests as well. Fast and easy to make but they look quite cute and unique on the plate.
- For a fun morning with your kids, have them choose the ingredients they want in their egg bites and they can add them in once the egg and milk mixture is in the muffin cups. They always eat better if they have helped to make a meal and even more so when they feel they got to choose what goes into it.
