3-Ingredient Egg Bites

Ingredients

Ingredient	Amount
Large eggs	8
Shredded cheese (cheddar, Colby Jack, or preferred variety)	1 cup
Cooked bacon, crumbled	1 cup (approximately 8 slices)
Cooking spray, oil, or butter	For greasing the muffin pan

Directions

Preheat the Oven

Set the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray, oil, or butter.

Beat the Eggs

Crack the eggs into a large bowl or measuring cup with a pouring spout. Whisk thoroughly until smooth and lightly aerated.

Mix in the Cheese

Add the shredded cheese and stir until evenly distributed throughout the egg mixture.

Add the Bacon

Fold the crumbled bacon into the mixture, ensuring it is evenly incorporated.

Fill the Muffin Tin

Pour the mixture into the prepared muffin cups, filling each one about three-quarters full. Lightly tap the pan on the counter to remove any trapped air bubbles.

Bake

Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the centers are set and the tops are lightly golden. The egg bites will puff up while baking and settle slightly as they cool.

Cool and Remove

Allow the egg bites to rest in the pan for 3–5 minutes. Carefully loosen the edges with a knife or small spatula and remove them from the muffin tin. Serve warm.

Store and Reheat

Let the egg bites cool completely before placing them in an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 4 days. To reheat, microwave for 20–30 seconds or warm in a 300°F (150°C) oven for 5–8 minutes.
