Easy Egg Bites (6-Ingredients, Muffin Tin Recipe)

Jump to Recipe

These 6-ingredient Egg Bites (aka Egg Muffins, Frittata Muffins) are a filling and easy-to-make breakfast on the go, snack, or lunch box treat. The bonus is that these protein-packed treats are a great way to use leftover vegetables and can be customized with various mix-ins.

These Egg Muffins are excellent for meal prep, so make one and eat all week, and any leftovers freeze well, too. A big batch of these totally sorts busy weekday morning and school run chaos.

And you can do the same with this Crockpot Breakfast Casserole and or this Air Fryer Breakfast Frittata.

• Cheese – I use goat cheese or brie but feel free to use some shredded Mexican cheese instead. You can also add a little bit more cheese to your taste.
• Milk – Makes these creamy and fluffy. I use whole milk but heavy whipping cream or plant based milks will work too if you’d like to go dairy free.
• Salt – completes this yummy breakfast recipe.

• Make sure to use a nonstick muffin tin that is well-oiled with nonstick spray so that the egg muffins don’t stick. You can also use a silicone muffin pan if you prefer.
