  • Total Time: 25-30 minutes
  • Yield: 12 egg bites 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs
  • 4 slices of bacon
  • 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (or your favorite melty cheese)
  • 1/4 cup milk or cream
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Bacon: Cook the bacon strips in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer them onto a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat, then chop into bite-sized pieces. This ensures a crispy texture and smoky flavor in the egg bites.
  2. Whisk the Eggs and Milk: In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and add a splash of milk or cream. Whisk vigorously until fully blended and slightly frothy to achieve light and fluffy egg bites.
  3. Add Cheese and Seasonings: Fold in the shredded cheese along with salt and pepper to taste, evenly distributing flavor throughout the mixture.
  4. Combine and Pour: Gently stir the chopped bacon into the egg-cheese mixture. Pour the batter evenly into a greased muffin tin or silicone molds, filling about 3/4 full for even baking and to prevent overflow.
  5. Bake Until Set: Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes or until the egg bites are firm and slightly golden on top. Avoid overbaking to keep them moist and tender.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs for smoother texture.
  • Do not overfill muffin cups to prevent overflow and ensure even cooking.
  • Mix bacon evenly in the batter so each bite has smoky flavor.
  • Let egg bites rest a few minutes after baking before removing from pan.
  • For extra creaminess, stir in a tablespoon of cream cheese.
