Ingredients and Substitutions

Ingredients for bacon and cheese egg bites.
  • Eggs
  • Egg whites – can sub with egg beaters or more eggs
  • Milk – I used plain unsweetened almond. Use any kind of milk here.
  • Bacon – I used Hormel Black Label Real Bacon Crumbles to keep it easy but you can most definitely make your own to throw in.

  • Seasoning – salt, pepper and ranch seasoning mix. Pairs so well! Can sub ranch seasoning with something else if desired.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together egg whites, eggs, milk, ranch seasoning mix, salt, and pepper.

Helpful Tips

More Fun Combinations To Try:

  • Roasted red pepper – Add roasted red pepper, feta cheese, and spinach!
  • Ham & cheese – These taste so good with diced ham, tangy cheese like muenster or swiss, and green onions!
  • Pepperoni pizza – So kid friendly! All you need is mozzarella and diced pepperoni pieces.

The possibilities really are endless. Try one of these variations or get creative with your own flavor variations!

FAQ: Bacon and Cheese Egg Bites

Are these bacon egg bites good for meal prep?

They are THE BEST for meal prep! You can make them over the weekend and enjoy all week long until they’re gone. If you have a lot of kiddos to feed, I recommend doubling or even tripling the recipe if you want to make ahead of time for the convenience of grab and go!

Can I freeze these egg bites?

Yes! Let cool completely then store in a freezer safe. They’ll stay good for up to 3 months.

What should I serve with these bacon egg bites?

You can enjoy them on their own for a low carb meal. If you want something more balanced, pair with toast, fruit, or some oatmeal!

Can I use all eggs instead of the eggs and egg whites?

Sure! Omit the egg whites and use 10 large eggs instead.

Notes

To make dairy-free: use dairy-free cheese and dairy-free milk.
*Crumbled bacon: You can make and crumble your own bacon for these or use bacon crumbles. Making your own bacon will also be the best, but these are still great with pre-cooked bacon and when I’m short on time, that is what I’ll use. If using bacon crumbles, just make sure to use a high quality kind to make these egg bites the best they can be! I recommend Hormel Black Label Real Bacon Crumbles!
