    Craving a quick, protein-packed breakfast? These Muffin Tin Egg Bites are the perfect solution! Whether you need an easy meal prep option or just something to grab on the go, these flavorful egg bites are loaded with savory sausage, crunchy red bell peppers, vibrant scallions, and sharp cheddar cheese. With a prep time of only minutes, you’ll have an easy and nourishing breakfast to enjoy throughout the week. Let’s dive into how you’ll whip up these delicious egg bites!

    Muffin Tin Egg Bites

    Ingredients List

    Here’s what you’ll need to make a batch of these protein-packed muffin tin egg bites:

    • 10 large eggs
    • ½ cup milk (any kind works, but whole milk adds richness)
    • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder (for a subtle flavor boost)
    • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper (adjust to taste)
    • ½ lb. bulk breakfast sausage, cooked (I recommend Jimmy Dean Regular Sausage for great flavor)
    • ½ red bell pepper, chopped (gives a slight sweetness and crunch)
    • 3 scallions, chopped (for a mild onion flavor)
    • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (adds freshness to the bites)
    • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (sharp cheddar brings a bold, cheesy flavor)

    These simple and nutritious ingredients come together to create a breakfast option that’s sure to satisfy your hunger and taste buds!

    Required Kitchen Tools

    To ensure a smooth cooking process and perfect results with your Muffin Tin Egg Bites, you’ll want to have the following kitchen tools on hand:

    1. Large Mixing Bowl : For whisking the eggs and combining all ingredients.
    2. Whisk : To thoroughly mix the eggs with the milk and seasonings.
    3. Non-stick Muffin Tin (12-cup) : This is an essential tool for shaping the egg bites. A 12-cup tin is perfect for this recipe that yields 12 bites.
    4. Non-stick Cooking Spray or Muffin Liners : Greasing your muffin tin will prevent the egg bites from sticking.
    5. Skillet or Frying Pan : Use this to cook the sausage before adding it to the egg mixture.
    6. Cutting Board & Knife : For chopping the bell peppers, scallions, and parsley.
    7. Fork (for removing the bites) : After baking, use a fork to gently remove the egg bites from the muffin tin without breaking them.

    These tools will help make the prep and cooking of your egg bites as easy and mess-free as possible!

    Step-by-Step Instructions for Muffin Tin Egg Bites

    Instructions for Muffin Tin Egg Bites

    1. Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Ingredients

    If you haven’t already, start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) . While the oven heats up, cook your breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned and fully cooked through, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Once done, set the sausage aside to cool slightly.

    Now it’s time to prepare the rest of your ingredients. Chop the red bell pepper, scallions, and fresh parsley. Shred 1 cup of sharp cheddar cheese and set it aside for the final topping.

    2. Whisk the Eggs and Seasonings

    Crack 10 large eggs into a large mixing bowl. Add ½ cup of milk to the eggs, followed by ¼ teaspoon of garlic powder and ¼ teaspoon of ground black pepper . Using a whisk, beat the eggs thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and all the egg yolks are fully broken. Make sure everything is well incorporated for an even texture in your egg bites.

    3. Add in the Fillings

    Next, stir in the cooked sausage, chopped red bell pepper , scallions , and fresh parsley to the egg mixture. Mix well to disperse the ingredients evenly throughout the egg mixture, so each bite is packed with flavor and nutrients.

    4. Prepare the Muffin Tin

    Grab your 12-cup muffin tin and spray each cup generously with non-stick cooking spray to prevent the egg bites from sticking. If you prefer, you can use muffin liners as an alternative.

    5. Fill the Muffin Tin and Add Cheese

    Once your muffin tin is prepped, pour the egg mixture evenly into all 12 muffin cups. Use a spoon to ensure that the sausage, bell pepper, and scallions are evenly distributed in each cup — you don’t want all the good stuff stuck at the bottom of the bowl! Fill each cup about ¾ full to allow room for the egg bites to puff up as they bake.

    Next, sprinkle the shredded sharp cheddar cheese evenly across all the muffin cups. This will melt into a golden, cheesy topping as the egg bites bake.

    Bake the Egg Bites

    6. Bake the Egg Bites

    Place the muffin tin into your preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes , or until the egg bites have puffed up and are golden on top. You’ll know they’re ready when the center of the egg bites is firm to the touch, and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.

    7. Cool and Serve

    Once baked, let the egg bites cool in the pan for about 5 minutes to set. To remove them, gently use a fork to lift each egg bite out of the muffin tin. They should pop out easily if the tin was well-greased. Serve warm, or let them cool completely and store them for later.

    Serving and Storing Muffin Tin Egg Bites

    These Muffin Tin Egg Bites are perfect for meal prep! You can make a batch ahead of time and store them in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the refrigerator. Need to save them for longer? Simply freeze them in an airtight bag for up to 1 month . To reheat, warm them in the microwave for 30-60 seconds or in an oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes.

    Storing Muffin Tin Egg Bites

    Enjoy!

    Whether you serve these fresh out of the oven or reheat them throughout the week, your muffin tin egg bites will be a delicious, nutritious breakfast! They’re easy to customize too — feel free to swap in different veggies, meats, or cheeses based on what you have in your fridge.
