Ingredients

Scale

Core Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs
  • 4 slices thick-cut bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
  • 1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated (or mozzarella, gouda)
  • 1/4 cup milk or cream
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Optional Herbs

  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Cook the bacon until crisp, then chop it into small pieces. Grate the cheese and set aside along with the eggs and other ingredients.
  2. Whisk the Egg Mixture: In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and add milk or cream, salt, pepper, and any optional herbs. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy to ensure a light texture.
  3. Combine Mix-Ins: Carefully fold the crumbled bacon and grated cheese into the egg mixture, distributing them evenly throughout for consistent flavor in every bite.
  4. Pour Into Muffin Tin: Grease a muffin tin with butter or non-stick spray. Pour the egg mixture into each cup, filling about three-quarters full to allow room for rising without overflowing.
  5. Bake Until Set: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the egg bites are firm and slightly golden on top. Let them cool briefly before removing from the tin.

Notes

  • Don’t Overfill: Leave space in each muffin cup so the egg bites can rise without spilling over.
  • Room Temperature Eggs: Using eggs that are not cold helps the mixture blend more smoothly.
  • Quality Bacon: Thick-cut bacon yields the best crispy, flavorful pieces for the bites.
  • Use a Water Bath: For an ultra-creamy texture, bake the muffin tin in a larger pan filled with hot water.
  • Let Them Rest: Cool egg bites for 5 minutes to enhance flavor and make removal easier.
