These high-protein, low-carb breakfast egg bites are perfect for on-the go mornings, for a healthy and fulfilling breakfast. The faux sous vide style keeps them moist and creamy, and is a great way to use excess eggs and garden veggies. These are very similar to the popular egg bites available at Starbucks.

What Fillings Can I Use?

What I love about these egg bites is you can fill them with whatever ingredients you have on hand. You might go for a classic bacon and cheese filling, or spinach, peppers, onions for a vegetarian take. You can use any type of cheese – I used Gruyere to make these more of a copy-cat style. This recipe would work great with feta, cheddar or any shredded cheese blend.

Tip for Cooking Bacon

To cook bacon quickly with the least mess I usually cook it in the microwave between some paper towels. You can fold the bacon strips in half and they cook evenly and are easier to manage.

What Type of Pan Should I use?

You can make these in a traditional metal muffin pan, but I opted for a silicone tray to make them easier to remove without needing cupcake liners and make clean up a breeze.

These Silicone Muffin Pans from Amazon are dishwasher safe and BPA free. They also have a metal reinforced rim to make them studier when carrying.

What Is Sous Vide Style?

Sous Vide is a French method of cooking which typically places food in a plastic pouch or glass jar which is submerged in a water bath and cooked at a lower constant temperature. Doing so keeps food moist and tender. For these egg bites, we leverage the use of the water bath to allow even cooking and humidity. We place the muffin plan on a regular cookie sheet, filled with hot water. I cook these egg bites at 350F to prevent burning and drying out.

What Can I Serve These With?

These eggs bits are so versitile – you can make a meal out of them or have them as a quick snack.

• Pack for school lunch as a quick high-protein addition
• Top onto a salad with some extra bacon and avocado
• Eat with a slice of sourdough bread and some fruit

Do These Use A Lot Of Eggs?

For a dozen eggs bites I used 8 eggs, so these are a great way to use up any excess eggs you have. These could be made with egg whites but they may not come out as creamy. I used my beautiful brown eggs from my chickens.
