Morning can be hectic, but having a protein-packed, grab and go breakfast ready to go makes all the difference! If you love Starbucks’ egg bites but don’t love the price, you’re going to love this homemade version-they’re just as creamy. full of flavor, and so much more affordable. I talk a lot about keeping track of our finances to become a SAHM that pours into her greatest investment (her children) over on my Instagram and Youtube, so staying away from expensive foods and making food from scratch is what I’m all about.
These bacon & Gruyère egg bites are:
✔️ Better than Starbucks – rich, velvety, and packed with smoky bacon & nutty cheese.
✔️ Healthier & customizable – no unnecessary additives, and you can tweak the ingredients to your liking.
✔️ Easy to meal prep – make a big batch, store in the fridge or freezer, and reheat in seconds!
I’ll walk you through exactly how to make these savory little bites, plus my best tips for getting that perfect soufflé-like texture. Trust me, once you try these, you’ll never go back to buying them!

Notes
- Once thoroughly cooled place in gallon freezer safe bag to save for later.
- Double the recipe and freeze left overs for future snacks or breakfast.
- No need to defrost, just heat it up or pop in the air fryer for a minute.
- For very easy clean up and removal use parchment paper on the bottom of the baking dish. This is the only way I make these.
