Long before “egg bites” were sold at the neighborhood coffee shop, we were making egg and biscuit muffins. These are so handy for a quick breakfast or a protein packed snack.
While I do have an exact recipe below, egg bites are really more of a process. This is great because you can use use what you have.
Pro Tip: For years I’ve made these in a regular metal muffin pan and they work great but you have to oil the pan. I much prefer making them in a silicone muffin pan.
Notes on Ingredients
- Biscuits: I use a half batch of my no-fail biscuit recipe for each batch of egg and biscuit muffins.
- Eggs: This is a great recipe to use up some of the frozen eggs you stashed in the spring.
- Meat: You can use bacon, sausage, ham or whatever meat you like with your eggs. Just make sure it’s cooked first.
- Cheese: We like cheddar in our egg bites but you can use whatever cheese you happen to have on hand.
- Veggies: You can add chopped onions, tomatoes, spinach, or even a bit of cooked diced potatoes
How to Make Egg Bites
- Cook meat – if it needs it – and let it cool a bit
- Make biscuit dough if not using canned biscuits
- Crack eggs and put them in a large bowl and beat them
- Add cooked meat to eggs
- Add cheese to eggs
- Spray muffin tins
- Put a small amount of biscuit dough in each muffin cup and press it down and up the sides just a bit
- Put the egg mixture on top of each biscuit
- Bake at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes – just until the top is lightly browned and the eggs are cooked

Yum, this sounds good. I once had a taco pocket made with canned biscuits. The lady who made it said she simply rolled out the biscuit section, added taco filling, closed it up and baked in a muffin tin.
oh, that sounds good…esp. for on the go
Those look wonderful! I think I might just have to make some.
Thanks, Rachel.
My standby would be fruit smoothies. One time my neighbor gave me a sack full of pears. I cooked and mashed them, froze them into 3 cup portions. I used the pears as a base for smoothies or pear bread. Overly ripe fruit at HEB, usually labeled for 99 cents was good for the same purpose.
Smoothies are great for snacks at home. Great idea about the pears and the discounted fruit.
These look so good–and it sounds like you freeze them? That would be such a timesaver!
They freeze very well. You can just warm them up in the microwave for a minute or two.
