Why I Love This Recipe

These are one of those recipes I almost always have in my fridge because they make busy mornings so much easier. They’re packed with protein, easy to reheat, and actually keep me full until lunch. The combination of crispy bacon, sharp cheddar, and fluffy eggs makes them feel a lot more exciting than your average meal prep breakfast.

Enjoying The Leftovers

These egg bites were made for meal prep. Make a batch at the beginning of the week and you’ll have an easy breakfast or snack ready whenever you need it.

Storing

Store the egg bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. They also freeze well for up to 2 months if you’d like to make a double batch.

Reheating

Warm the egg bites in the microwave for 20 to 30 seconds, or until heated through. If reheating from frozen, thaw them overnight in the refrigerator or add a little extra time in the microwave.
