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.

May 15, 2016 at 7:24 pmCan I prepare the night before and heat it up the next morning? Will it still taste as good?
Laureen King says
May 15, 2016 at 7:49 pmI 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!

January 22, 2017 at 10:05 pmI see the recipe does not have baking powder in it – how does it manage to rise?
Laureen King says
January 23, 2017 at 8:32 amHi Glenda, just whisking the eggs and the milk together creates egg bites to raise.
Ell Dee says
May 30, 2018 at 3:58 pmThis 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.
Laureen King says
May 30, 2018 at 6:28 pmHi 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.
Ana says
August 7, 2018 at 3:08 amWash your pan right the way. Do not let it seat for hours lil
Tami says
August 19, 2018 at 6:22 pmI 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
Laureen King says
August 19, 2018 at 8:53 pmI have a non-stick mini muffin pan that works great, but I still also spray them so nothing sticks.

February 19, 2019 at 12:20 amUse a silicone muffin pan, they will pop out.
Holly says
April 28, 2019 at 1:29 pmI use muffin cups like you would use for cupcakes.
Laureen King says
April 28, 2019 at 8:45 pmThats a great size as well.
CM says
May 12, 2019 at 7:32 pmI bought silicone muffin cups, put them in my muffin baking pan, and don’t have to worry about greasing or sticking

August 26, 2018 at 1:02 pmHi 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.
Laureen King says
August 28, 2018 at 4:42 pmPhil, I would just double the recipe and use regular size muffin tins. Be sure to grease muffin tin generously.
Claire Barker says
November 11, 2018 at 8:22 pmThese 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 !
Laureen King says
November 12, 2018 at 7:13 pmthanks Claire.
Debbie says
November 30, 2018 at 8:51 amI 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.
Laureen King says
December 2, 2018 at 4:06 amHi Debbie, yes the pan must be greased or they will stick. A great breakfast on the go.
Nancy says
December 20, 2018 at 7:22 amThese look great! They look like a good snack for a party. How long can I leave them out unrefrigerated?
Laureen King says
December 20, 2018 at 8:04 amHi Nancy, I would not leave it set out at room temperature any longer than 2 hours.
Shirley says
January 6, 2019 at 7:06 amI 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.
Emma says
February 6, 2019 at 3:44 pmHello! This recipe looks awesome. I am thinking about using a newly purchased bundt pan to make something similar, but on a larger scale. Do you think I could put the mixture into the bundt pan like I would a muffin tin?
Thanks!
Laureen King says
February 17, 2019 at 1:36 pmHi Emma, the bundt pan may work but I’m thinking it may be difficult to cut without falling apart.
Gloria Jarvis says
April 14, 2019 at 7:33 pmI’m thinking of making these for a potluck, and want to make them in a regular pyrex pan. Would this work? Double recipe for a 9X13″ pan?
Laureen King says
April 19, 2019 at 9:01 pmHi Gloria, I would think doubling the recipe would work. Just be sure to generously grease the baking pan.
