I love these homemade Breakfast Egg Bites for a great low carb, healthy breakfast. Great for breakfast on the go or afternoon snack.
Breakfast Egg Bites taste great right out of the oven but you can also make them ahead of time and store in the refrigerator. Pack a few in a ziplock bag and you’ve got breakfast on the go or a healthy snack for those afternoon cravings. Add your favorite veggies like spinach or red peppers.
Not just for breakfast these Breakfast Egg Bites work well for appetizers or school lunch boxes. The kids will love them and they are a nice change from sandwiches.

Can I prepare the night before and heat it up the next morning? Will it still taste as good?
I have done this, they are best fresh out of the oven, but still taste very good baked and then stored in airtight container or ziplock bag in the refrigerator. Great to breakfast on the go!
I see the recipe does not have baking powder in it – how does it manage to rise?
Hi Glenda, just whisking the eggs and the milk together creates egg bites to raise.
This is yummy , however even though I generously sprayed my muffin tin with Canola Oil spray the egg bites were stuck and it took me forever to clean the pan.. eventually I just threw it (the muffin pan) out. Any ideas on what U could do differently next time.
Hi Ell, not quite sure why they would have stuck that badly. You could try using olive oil or vegetable oil instead of spray oil. Another suggestion would be use mini cupcake liners.
Wash your pan right the way. Do not let it seat for hours lil
I used a canola cooking spray and really did apply a lot. They came right out but the first time I made them I did not use enough and it was a nightmare. I have individually wrapped and froze these and then nuked them for 30-45 seconds and they were fine
I have a non-stick mini muffin pan that works great, but I still also spray them so nothing sticks.
Hi Laureen,
Can you share the ingredient amounts for full cupcake sixe egg bites. My mom has Parkinsons and I`m trying to find recipes that cna be pre-made for her healthy breakfast since I have to be at work prior to her waking, and her daytime Caregiver doesnt cook. I would really appreciate it.
Phil, I would just double the recipe and use regular size muffin tins. Be sure to grease muffin tin generously.
These are tasty and easy! I preferr to add a couple more eggs tho! It seems like there is too many add in per muffin! Try 7 or 8 eggs !
thanks Claire.
I make these with egg beaters and spray the cupcake pan first then fill to the top with veggies, sprinkle cheese and then pour eggs to fill cups! Delicious and easy.
Hi Debbie, yes the pan must be greased or they will stick. A great breakfast on the go.
These look great! They look like a good snack for a party. How long can I leave them out unrefrigerated?
Hi Nancy, I would not leave it set out at room temperature any longer than 2 hours.
I made these for my 15 month twin granddaughters and they loved them. I changed some ingredients and put spinach and kale in, huge hit as they live their veggies. Easy and healthy.
