You are going to love these amazing Egg Bites, they are perfect for that HANGRY o’clock, or just a grab and go breakfast. This recipe is freezer friendly and a simple reheat whenever you need a quick snack or breakfast.
Easy Egg Bites are simply little frittatas if you will. They have veggies, cheese, and meat if you like. Whatever you like in your eggs you can pretty much throw in egg bites. I used baby greens, tomatoes, bacon, and cheddar cheese. This is one of my favorite combos!
The idea is not to overload your muffin slots with too much, you don’t want these tasting like a salad, ha. Each muffin cup should have a feel-good amount of fillings to still taste like an egg bite.
Can you freeze Egg Bites
Absolutely! Cook them as directed, let them fully cool and transfer them to a flat surface tray like a cookie sheet or cutting board. Place them in the freezer for 1 hour then transfer them to a freezer-friendly container.
To Reheat
You can pop these in the microwave and reheat 1-2 mins from frozen, or 30 seconds from the refrigerator. These also reheat great int he oven or toaster oven.
Recipe Variations
You can add in or omit anything you want, recipe time should remain the same. If you will be using potatoes they will need to be cooked first. You can easily make this vegetarian friendly or dairy-free.

instead of muffin tins,I pour all the mixture into a greased baking dish and bake at the same temp. _ after baking cut into squares _ can be frozen
I like this idea as well!!
How long will they stay good just in the fridge?
1 week! ✨
An this be made in mini muffin tin?
Yes, it just will make more bite size pieces!
Can I use heavy whipping cream instead of milk?
Yes absolutely!!
These were wonderful. Thanks so much!
Absolutely! Glad you liked them!
Can these be made in a microwave?
Yes! 90 seconds should be good!
Could I use diced canned tomatoes or do I need to use fresh ingredients?
Yes just drain out all the juice!
How long are they good if they are frozen?
3 months in a sealed freezer bag!
I accidentally forgot the milk. Do you think they will still be ok?
No not at all, should be just fine!!
Using a silicone muffin pan made them super easy to unmold – you can just pop them right out onto a plate with very little cooking spray.
Yes silicone muffin pans are total game chargers when it comes to clean up!! Love them!!
do you have to spray the silicone muffin pans?
I didn’t and they came out completely clean.
Would very much appreciate knowing the nutritional data.
No problem!! I just left a note on my desk will get it up tomorrow 🥰

Hey!! I ran it thru nutri fox and mine was slightly different it’s on the bottom of recipe card!!
were you ever able to get the nutritional data?
Hey Heather!! Sorry pregnancy brain about to have a baby in less than month!! Nutritional data is up! Made it for 1 muffin each.
Hope the birth went well! I had my 2nd on the 24th
Congratulations!!! I’m having my 4th any day now!!!! Hopefully tonight’😂😆
Could I use cupcake wrappers with the egg bite mixture instead of the cooking spray?
Yes!! I would spray the wrappers because it will stick if not! Silicone works best ✨
Hey Kay! Hope your childbirth went well!!!! ✨ Question for when you’re back: how do you freeze them? I don’t see it on the original post and thought I’d ask. I’ll comb through the comments again in case I missed it!!
Thanks so much Ashley!!!!!! E writhing went great!!!! Yes you can freeze!!
Thanks for the recipe! I fried some onion with mushrooms and mixed it in too — turned out really good!
Your welcome!! I must try that!! Sounds incredible!!!
Can this be made with egg whites instead of the whole egg? Any changes?
Yes! I do this all the time! Egg whites tend to stick! So I would use cooking spray and silicone molds if you have any. Also egg amount double for egg whites.
Do you think small chunks of avacado would also work?
Yes! Sounds delicious too!
Does anyone know how many points these are for weight watcher?
Which WW plan ?
This recipe was just what I was looking for! I’ve been totally addicted to some Egg Bites I found at Target, and wanted to recreate them myself. This recipe was the perfect starting point. Just added some cottage cheese, Monterey Jack, minced garlic and some onion salt, and put everything (except my “toppings” like spinach and red peppers) in the blender for a couple of minutes. Perfection! Thank you!
Sounds amazing Heather!!!!! Ty!✨✨
Yum how much cottage cheese did you use and did the wetness change your cooking time?
I have no idea what “baby greens” is.
Baby spinach, baby kale ect.. there smaller and softer than a regular spinach or kale.
Love the recipe but needed 8 extra large eggs, 1/3 cup milk. Also added peppers and hot sauce ;).
Eggs can be tricky cause there all different sizes!! I will definitely note that!!! yes hot sauce always a necessity!!!😍😍😍😍
My kids love these with root beer instead of milk!!
say what???
How long would you recommend for reheating in the oven?
Hey Chelsea,
I would put them in the oven at 350 for about 10 minutes!
Anyone have an estimate of how much salt you started with or currently use with this general recipe? ½ tsp, ¾ tsp, ⅛ tsp? A few 3-4 dashes or grinds?
I mistakenly used double the amount of milk (1/2 cup) and my egg bites were PERFECT! I also used one more egg and ANOTHER splash of milk! Still they are perfect and absolutely delicious. I used spinach, onion, cheddar cheese and crumbled breakfast sausage (cooked) and I will make them again and again.
Do you have a cooking time for jumbo muffin tins?
Hey Vicky!
I would add 10 minutes to cooking time! Check centers to see if cooked and check every 3 mins after!
