Bacon Gruyere egg bites are one of my favorite things to make while meal prepping for a busy week ahead. This “copycat” version of the popular on-the-go option from Starbucks is much more macro-friendly, as well as budget-friendly.
Salty, crunchy bacon and the creamy Gruyere and eggs really give these little bites a lot of flavor. They taste like they must be a lot of work to make, but they’re actually easy to make. There’s only 10 minutes of prep time!
Bacon Gruyere Egg Bites
Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a standard sized muffin pan with cooking spray. I highly recommend investing in a silicone muffin pan, but a standard muffin tin works as well.
Next, bake or fry the bacon until it’s cooked through and crispy. If you’re short on time, you can use pre-cooked bacon as a shortcut. Chop each piece of cooked bacon into four, equal sized pieces.
Line the bottom of each muffin well with 2 pieces of the sliced bacon. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the shredded cheese evenly between the 12 muffin wells.
Add the remaining cheese into a large high speed blender along with the remaining ingredients. Blend on high speed for about 1 minute. You will know it’s blended long enough when bubbles begin to form.
Evenly pour the egg mixture into each muffin well. This fills each well almost all the way to the top.
Place the muffin tin inside a large rimmed roasting pan. Pour hot water inside the roasting pan until the water comes up 1-2 inches along the outside bottom of the muffin tin.
Bake the egg bites in the water bath for 30 minutes. The eggs should be set and the tops slightly golden. Be careful when removing the baking sheet from the oven!
Serve these delicious and filling bacon Gruyere egg bites right away, or allow to cool before transferring to a container or zip-top bag for the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat leftovers on a microwave safe dish for 30-40 seconds, or feel free to eat these cold.
