INGREDIENTS

Cheese – I used shredded cheddar cheese. Use your favorite!
Seasoning – I used ranch seasoning mix. Pairs so well! Can sub with something else if desired.
Salt and pepper

HOW TO MAKE BACON AND CHEDDAR EGG BITES

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
Add the bacon and cheese evenly amongst the muffin cavities.** Toss the mixture around with your fingers to evenly distribute the ingredients.
In a medium bowl, whisk together egg whites, eggs, almond milk, ranch seasoning mix, salt, and pepper. Fill each muffin to the top with the egg mixture, pouring over the bacon and cheese already in each tin.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until risen and slightly golden on top.
Let cool for 10 minutes. Then, remove from the tin.

**For exact macros, add 7g of both the bacon crumbles and shredded cheese to each muffin cavity.

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, cheese of choice, and green onions.
Pepperoni pizza – So kid friendly! All you need is mozzarella and diced pepperoni pieces.

The possibilities really are endless! Use the variations listed or get creative with your own flavor variations!

EGG BITE FAQ

Are these 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?

You sure can! I would store in a freezer safe gallon sized bag and pop in the freezer. They’ll stay good for up to 3 months.

What should I serve with these 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!
