These homemade egg bites are fluffy, flavorful, and endlessly customizable! Packed with protein and veggies, they’re perfect for busy mornings or a brunch spread. Inspired by Starbucks’ famous sous-vide bites, this version is easy to make and tastes even better.

Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture

  • 10 large eggs
  • ½ cup milk or cream (cream for richness, milk for a lighter option)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Fillings

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or Swiss, mozzarella, or Gouda)
  • ½ cup chopped vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, spinach)
  • ½ cup cooked crumbled bacon or sausage (optional)
  • ½ cup chopped turkey (optional for lean protein)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cavity muffin tin generously with non-stick spray or butter to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare the Fillings
    Chop vegetables into small pieces and pre-cook bacon or sausage until crispy. Shred cheese if not pre-shredded.
  3. Mix the Eggs
    In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk/cream, salt, and pepper until smooth and slightly frothy.
  4. Assemble the Egg Bites
    Divide the chopped vegetables, meats, and cheese evenly among the muffin tin cavities. Pour the egg mixture over the fillings, filling each cavity about ¾ full. Stir gently with a fork to distribute the fillings evenly.
  5. Bake
    Place the muffin tin on the center rack of your oven. Bake for 12–18 minutes, checking at the 12-minute mark. The egg bites are done when they’re set in the center and slightly golden on top.
  6. Cool and Serve
    Let the egg bites cool in the pan for 5 minutes before removing them with a butter knife or spatula. Serve warm or store for later.

Notes

Serving Suggestions

  • Pair with avocado toast or fresh fruit for a balanced breakfast.
  • Add salsa or hot sauce for extra flavor.
  • Use as a filling for breakfast sandwiches.

Tips & Tricks

  • Don’t overfill muffin cavities; leave room for the eggs to expand.
  • For easier removal, use silicone molds instead of a metal muffin tin.
  • Sauté vegetables like onions or bell peppers beforehand for deeper flavor.

Storage & Reheating

  • Refrigerate: Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Place a paper towel in the container to absorb moisture.
  • Freeze: Wrap each cooled egg bite individually in plastic wrap and store in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months.
  • Reheat: Microwave refrigerated bites for 10–15 seconds or frozen bites for 30–60 seconds. Alternatively, reheat in an oven at 300°F (150°C) for about 10 minutes.
