    Easy Homemade Egg Bites

    Jump to Recipe

    Homemade Egg Bites are an easy way to use up leftovers and fill your fridge or freezer with a quick and delicious breakfast!

    I love eggs and am always looking for new ways to eat them. These are perfect to have on hand when you are too busy to make breakfast, or just don't feel like it, but still want to eat something nutritious. If you are looking for more delicious egg recipes be sure to check out my Baked Vegetable Frittata as well as this delicious Zucchini Omelette Recipe too! Or for an egg-less high protein breakfast try my Easy Overnight Protein Oats.

    How to make egg bites without a recipe

    Use my recipe as a guideline and fill your egg cups with a variety of different ingredients like bacon, sausage, ham, spinach, mushrooms and cheese, or no cheese! Use up leftovers and turn them into a delicious breakfast or how about lunch with a salad?

    Fill the cups first with the filling ingredients to about ¾ full. Increase the eggs if you use less filling so you have enough egg mix to fill all the cups. I don't recommend using more filling or they will fall apart.

    Using a bain marie

    What's a "bain-marie" you ask? It's a fancy, Chef's term (well actually it's French) for water bath. Eggs need gentle cooking so they don't overcook and brown. A bain-marie creates an even and gentle temperature so the egg bites come out soft and moist. Don't worry if you don't have a pan large enough to hold the muffin tin you can bake these without a bain-marie and they will still turn out fantastic! Omit the foil cover as well and start checking for doneness after 15 minutes.

    Can I use a silicone pan?

    Silicone pans (affiliate link) work perfectly for these! By all means, if you have one, use it. You will still want to grease it for double the non-sticking power!

    Why did my egg bites deflate?

    These homemade egg bites will be all puffed up and proud-looking as soon as you take them out of the oven and then the disappointment comes when you turn away for a moment and realize they have totally deflated! Booooo! Sorry folks but this is unavoidable. As the eggs heat up, air bubbles are formed and expand. The eggs don't have enough structure to hold the air bubbles so they deflate as they cool.

    Other flavour combinations I recommend:

    • Spinach, tomato & feta
    • Mushroom & Swiss cheese
    • Ham, green pepper & onion
    • Fresh herb and goat's cheese (parsley, cilantro, dill, basil)
    • Bacon & cheddar
    • Chorizo, smoked paprika & Manchego cheese

    Ingredients

    Egg Base

    • 10 large eggs
    • ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
    • Salt and pepper to taste

    Spicy Red Pepper & Pepper Jack

    • 1 cup red pepper, small dice
    • 1 cup pepper jack cheese, grated or cubed
    • your favorite hot sauce, to taste

    Broccoli & Smoked Cheddar

    • 1 cup broccoli, cooked, chopped into small pieces
    • 1 cup smoked cheddar, grated
    • 1 tablespoon grainy dijon mustard

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 325°F
    • Generously grease a 12 cup muffin tin and place inside a larger baking pan.
    • Divide your chosen ingredients between the cups, they should be about ⅔ full.
    • Whisk together eggs, yogurt, salt and pepper and pour evenly over each cup.
    • Pour about one to two inches of hot tap water into larger pan. Grease a piece of foil large enough to cover the pan and cover with greased side down.
    • Bake for 25-30 minutes or until set. Remove from oven and remove muffin tin from pan. Let cool. Use a butter knife to loosen from pan. Serve warm or refrigerate or freeze for later.

    Notes

    Storage: Let cool completely and store, covered, in the fridge for 5 days. Or wrap individually and store in the freezer for up to 3 months. Let thaw in fridge overnight or defrost in the microwave. 
    You can skip the water bath and the foil cover and check for doneness after 20 minutes and continue baking as needed until just set.

      I like egg bites. I made them this time in a greased silicone pan and baked in the oven. However, the bottoms were stuck. Could they have been left to coo too long? Thank you

        Yes that could be the reason they stuck. Next time try baking until the egg bites are just set and see if that helps. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

      Hi Andrea,
      I have used your recipe a number of times. I use a 12 cup silicone muffin pan.
      So easy, freezes well and saves well in the fridge.

      Hi Andrea! I am making these for the first time. When checking them for fineness I saw some water in the top. Was I supposed to put the foil just over the egg pan or the whole pan. I did the later. Having to Cooke it more. Thanks

        You want to cover the whole pan as to create steam. Cooking times can vary depending on different ovens, temperature of eggs when going in etc. Let me know how they turned out!

        If a bit of water gets in after they've cooked it's no big deal and shouldn't affect them.

        Havarti can be more difficult to grate but I think the flavour would be fantastic! Try spraying your cheese grater with pan spray. It prevents it from all sticking to the grater. Enjoy!

          Hi Andrea! Any tricks to ensure these do not stick to the muffin pan?? I love the flavour and convenience for taking these to go, but I’ve made them twice now and both times the sides don’t seem to cook as nicely and it sticks to the sides of the pan, even with generous oil spray (I’m using avocado oil). I don’t have a pan big enough so I’m not doing the water bath.

            Hi Nichole! You could try lining with paper or silicone cups. Mine stick a bit too but will come out after running a small knife around the outside. You can also make it in a square or rectangle dish and cut it into pieces. Hope that helps!

        I'm not familiar with those machines so can't really advise. A quick Google search or following the cooking instructions for the machine should work. I'm guessing the recipe would stay the same and you would just need to adjust the time and temperature. Hope that helps!

        It depends on which veggies you are using. In the recipe the red pepper can be raw but it says "cooked" broccoli. I would cook things like onions, cauliflower, broccoli, mushrooms, zucchini etc. Hope that helps!

          You can just pop them in the microwave. Start with short bursts of time so you don't overcook them. Or wrap in foil and heat in a preheated 350 F oven. Hope you enjoy them!

      I made a variation of these today - grated zucchini, garlic, salt, pepper, whipped eggs/sour cream, topped with mozzarella and sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. Baked in silicone pan. I didn’t drain the zucchini, so they were a tad moist in the bottom, so I immediately rested them in their side in the pan and then laid them out in some paper towels. They are delicious! Love this technique and possible variations are endless. Thank you!

        In that case you don't use the water bath. You can check out my recipe for Leek and Cauliflower Frittata for a "whole version" recipe. 👌

            Yes you can absolutely make these in a larger pan. You can also skip the water bath with the muffin tins. It does keep them more tender but they still turn out great without. They might take less time without the water bath. 😀

      My only complaint about these are that I can’t keep them in the fridge; my husband and sons eat them all.
      They are apparently so delicious; just wish I could try them.

      Hi there! New here. I have tried a few of your recipes from a friend who is doing Gina's plan (I am in the spring session - yay!) and what I have had so far has been absolutely DEELISH!!! I have a question about the egg bites - I have made them many times myself and find no matter how much I grease the pan, they still stick and washing the pans after is a royal PAIN! Do you have any tips for me?
      Thank you kindly. I look forward to trying many more of your recipes!
      Cheers,
      Lisa

        Hi Lisa!
        I'm so happy you are enjoying the recipes!

        The pan can be a bit of work to clean for sure! I just leave mine to soak in warm water for a while which makes it much easier. You can also try using paper muffin tin liners or pick up some silicone muffin pans or liners.
        Hope that helps! 😀

        Lisa, I made the egg bites in a silicone pan and with no greasing what so ever, they just slipped right out.

        I used the parchment muffin liners and they come right out of the pan ( if I don’t accidentally overfill them). The parchment doesn’t stick to the eggs either.

      Hi Andrea, I’m a big fan! Currently doing my second round of Gina’s program. Love this recipe! Except for cleaning the muffin pan after. Any tips? Also, what do you use to grease the pan?
      Thank you!

        I just let the pan soak for a while. You can also line with paper cups or use a silicone muffin pan. I spray with a non stick spray generously. Happy you are enjoying the recipe 😀

        Hi - For any kind of baked-on food, I sprinkle dishwasher detergent into the dish, fill with hot water, and let soak for a couple of hours. It works like magic on burnt on foods, so hopefully it will help with the egg residue, too!

      My Instant Pot came with an egg bite tray I’m going to make some in the pot and see how they turn out. The tray only hold 7 but they are fast to make so can still make in batches for the freezer.

          I’ve been making mine in a silicone tray in my IP all week. They turn out great! I spray the tray with olive oil, you can also use a basting brush. Before removing them from the tray, I allow them to cool and to speed up the process I put the tray in another shallow bowl with ice cold water.

      These egg bites are excellent. I have made 2 batches so far and I only saw the recipe this past Sunday. I have made them with mushrooms, green peppers, onion, ham and sharp white cheddar(old). My husband is up for work at 5am so these bites are perfect for him to grab and go. We are now addicted to them and will continue making them😍

        You can just pop them in the microwave for a few seconds at a time until warm. Once you figure out the perfect amount of time for your microwave then you can just put them in for that long. Enjoy!

      Hi wasn't sure which flavor I would prefer so I got out two bowls and made six of each. Turns out I like them both equally well! Great recipe and nice to have some flavor in the morning aside from plain old hard boiled eggs.

      I had a few of the basic ingredients (read eggs) that were getting close to the best before date, so I thought this would be a good recipe to try. For the filling I used some soft Portuguese style chorizo in small cubes, roasted red peppers (drained and chopped) and Gouda and grated Parmesan cheese. I had to bake the scones 10 minutes longer as I over did the yogourt in the egg mixture.
      Great taste and texture. Froze half of the batch. Thank you!
