How to make egg bites with step-by-step instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F/175°C.

Spray a skillet with nonstick spray, and then, over medium heat, add your chosen vegetables and cook until they are softened, approximately 4 – 8 minutes.

Now divide the vegetable mix between the greased muffin tin holes, then divide the vegetarian meat and place it on top of the vegetables, and then the cheese,

Pour the egg mixture on top of the vegetable and veggie meat mix, just enough so that there is a little room at the top as they will puff up.

Place your muffin tins in the oven and bake until the egg bites are set, approximately 20 minutes.

Recipe notes and expert tips

  • Cheese
    Some recipes call for bacon and gruyere, neither of which are vegetarian; substitute for veggie bacon and cheese.
  • Egg bites rubbery?
    That sounds like you’ve overcooked them; you need to cook them so they are just cooked; this keeps them tender and delicious.
  • Storage
    Store egg bites in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days; they will also freeze for up to 3 months. Thoroughly defrost frozen egg bites in the fridge overnight before consuming them.

How to store leftover egg bites

Store egg bites in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Freeze them for up to 3 months.

Can you freeze egg bites?

Yes, you can freeze egg bites, follow the cooking instructions and let them cool completely before placing them in freezer bags.

To use, defrost them in the fridge overnight, then you can either eat your egg bite cold, or you could reheat egg bites in the oven or air fryer.

Recipe variations

The great thing about egg bite recipes is that you can use virtually any vegetables that you have in the fridge.

Throw in sliced green onions, finely chopped kale, diced tomatoes, or your favorite chopped veggies.

You can even just use egg whites; simply increase the number of eggs you need accordingly.

Looking for copycat Starbucks egg bites?

For Starbucks egg bites, you’ll need a blended mixture of cottage cheese, eggs, cornstarch, and cheese,

It’s important to know that the Starbucks egg bites recipe is gruyere egg bites, and Gruyère cheese is not suitable for vegetarians.

What do I serve egg bites with?

Egg bites are delicious on their own as a snack, but it’s great to dunk them in your favorite dipping sauce; we love BBQ sauce, sweet chili sauce, or hot sauce.
