These Bacon and Cheese Egg Bites are such a delight. I love making them over the weekend so we could have a lazy on-the-go brekkie with a cup of coffee or tea.
Egg bites are incredibly adaptable and easy to create. All you need is some crispy bacon, a bit of cheese of your choice, eggs, and seasonings to taste.

Your girl has you covered if you don’t eat pork or bacon. Try these alternatives instead of bacon:
Meaty options:
- Turkey or beef breakfast sausages
- Beef bacon made in the air fryer
- Chicken deli meat, thickly sliced
Veggie options:
- Spinach, cooked and drained
- Broccoli steamed
- Diced mixed peppers and onion, sautéed
Cheese options:
- Shredded Monterey Jack with Cheddar is fantastic.
- Smoked Gruyere cheese adds richness.
- Shredded whole milk Mozzarella with Cheddar.
You can most certainly have only cheese and egg bites if you don’t like any of the other suggestions. I mean, sometimes you just want things to be as simple as possible. Anything else can be offered as a side.
The fact that I had seen something similar in the freezer section of the grocery store is what inspired me to make these egg bites.
The price was simply too high for something so simple, and I became upset about it. The taste won’t even compare to what you can make at home, too. So make at-home things like this because you won’t regret it!

Bacon And Cheese Egg Bites
Bacon And Cheese Egg Bites are easy, simple, and delicious.
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs, beaten
- ¼ cup whole milk
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup shredded sharp cheddar
- 3 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees, and place mini muffin liners (or use silicone, or non-stick muffin tin).
- Air fry or bake bacon until crispy. I find 10 minutes at 375F to be the best in the air fryer. It is not to be overly crunchy and bacon is perfect for this egg bites.
- In a mixing bowl, mix eggs for a few minutes until eggs are well mixed. Add in milk and whip with a whisk until fluffy. Add a good pinch of salt and freshly cracked pepper.
- In the muffin pan, layer the shredded cheese and chopped bacon into the cups so that they are about ⅓ of the way full.
- Pour egg mixture into each cup, until cups are about ⅔ full.
- Bake for 15 to 18 minutes until egg muffins are solid. No liquid should remain. Allow to cool before popping out of pan.
Notes
If you already have precooked bacon time will decrease by 10 minutes, however, you need to cook that bacon.
if you do not have bacon, you can use smoked ham, or turkey.
