Ingredients

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

Directions

Step 1: Prepare the Oven

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

Step 2: Beat the Eggs

Crack the eggs into a medium bowl and whisk until smooth and slightly frothy.

Step 3: Mix in the Cheese

Add the shredded cheese and stir until evenly distributed throughout the eggs.

Step 4: Add the Bacon

Fold the crumbled bacon into the mixture, making sure it’s well combined.

Step 5: Fill the Muffin Pan

Divide the mixture evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full. Gently tap the pan on the counter to release any trapped air bubbles.

Step 6: Bake

Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the egg bites are fully set in the center and lightly golden around the edges.

Step 7: Cool and Serve

Allow the egg bites to rest in the pan for 3–5 minutes. Carefully loosen the edges with a knife or small spatula before removing. Serve warm.

Storage and Reheating

Store cooled egg bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

To reheat:

• Microwave for 20–30 seconds per serving.
• Or warm in a 300°F (150°C) oven for 5–8 minutes until heated through.

These easy egg bites are perfect for meal prep and taste just as delicious reheated as they do fresh from the oven.
