Egg bites are a great way to start the day and get your daily dose of protein. They’re also easy to prepare in advance, so you can eat them on the go or heat them up for breakfast at home. My family loves Egg Bites because they are so easy to make, and we can at least get one healthy meal in before we start our day!
What is an Egg Bite?
Egg Bites are a type of food that is made by combining eggs and other ingredients and then cooking them in a mold. They can be made with many different ingredients, but they all have one thing in common: they’re all bite-sized! There are many reasons why someone might want to make Egg Bites, but mostly they make a super yummy savory treat!

- Eggs – This is the main ingredient in Egg Bites, so make sure to use good quality eggs. If you’re using large eggs, you’ll need two for each Bite.
- Cheddar cheese – This adds a nice sharp flavor to the Bites. You could also use another type of cheese, such as mozzarella or Swiss.
- Salt and pepper – To taste
- Bacon – This is optional, but it gives the Bites a nice smoky flavor.
You’ll also need parsley, paprika, garlic powder, and dried minced onions!
