Hectic mornings are often a grab-and-go affair. Coffee? Yes! Breakfast… maybe? A latte drive-through– only if the line isn’t too long.
I’m sure you know what I mean!
Homemade breakfasts are often relegated to the weekend… and weekday morning meals are a bonus.
I have several egg bite and quick breakfast ideas at 31Daily. Probably because it is a challenge to get my family fed and out-the-door, with somewhat healthy options.

Drive through coffee is most definitely part of our lives. Which is I why I was experimenting with this particular egg bites recipe. A Starbucks Bacon Gouda Breakfast Sandwich is my son’s go-to morning morning meal.
And he is in love with egg bites. So it was a natural to begin making them at home, ready for flying-out-the-door mornings and most definitely snacks later in the day.
What to Love About Bacon Gouda Egg Bites
- Smokey, delicious, irresistible flavors
- 4 ingredients… plus seasoning
- Made in a standard-size muffin tin

Ingredients for Bacon Gouda Egg Bites
Exact ingredient measurements are in the recipe card below.
- Cooked bacon, crumbled: For a quick fix, you can buy already cooked bacon at the market.
- Large eggs: beaten
- Milk: Dairy milk or milk of choice. If you’re using almond milk, my family likes the sweetened almond milk best in this recipe.
- Shredded Cheese: I’m using Gouda, which has a delicious smokey flavor, but Gruyere, cheddar, or even mozzarella is delicious too.
- Seasoning: salt and pepper to taste and a pinch of red pepper flakes.
How to Make Bacon Gouda Egg Bites
Step-by-step instructions are in the recipe card below.
Preheat the oven to 350°F and spray a standard-size muffin tin generously with nonstick cooking spray.
Fill muffin cups with bacon and shredded cheese.

Whisk eggs, milk, and seasoning together. Pour in the egg mixture to fill each cup about 2/3 full.

Bake for 20 minutes on the middle rack of the oven until the egg bites are just set. They will begin to pull away from the edges of the muffin tin.

I really want to try this recipe! Have you tried freezing them? I’m hoping to make a bunch to have an easy/mess free breakfast for kids before school. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Kris— I have frozen these! They freeze well and are perfect for quick breakfasts or snacks. I like to thaw in the refrigerator overnight and then gently reheat in the microwave. But sometimes when mornings get hectic, I will defrost in the microwave and then also gently reheat for a few seconds.
