# What You’ll Need:

→ Eggs & Dairy

01 - 8 large eggs
02 - 1/3 cup whole milk
03 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

04 - 1/2 cup cooked bacon bits (approximately 5-6 strips, chopped)

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs and milk until well combined and slightly frothy.
03 - Stir in shredded cheddar cheese, bacon bits, ranch seasoning mix, and green onions if using. Season with salt and pepper to taste, accounting for the saltiness of the ranch mix and bacon.
04 - Evenly distribute egg mixture among 12 muffin cups, filling each approximately three-quarters full.
05 - Bake for 18-22 minutes until egg bites are puffed, set in the center, and lightly golden.
06 - Allow to cool for 2-3 minutes, then run a knife around the edges to release from muffin tin. Serve warm.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • They taste like your favorite restaurant egg bites but cost a fraction of the price and you know exactly whats in them.
  • You can make a full dozen in one go and have breakfast sorted for nearly the entire week without thinking twice.
  • The ranch seasoning adds a tangy, herby punch that makes plain scrambled eggs feel boring in comparison.
  • Theyre naturally gluten-free and endlessly customizable, so you can sneak in veggies or swap proteins without rewriting the whole recipe.
02 -
  • Don't overbake them or they'll turn rubbery, pull them out as soon as the centers are just set and they'll stay tender.
  • If you're making these ahead, let them cool completely before refrigerating or they'll get soggy from trapped steam.
  • Ranch seasoning packets vary in saltiness, so taste your mixture before baking and adjust the salt accordingly.
03 -
  • Use a silicone muffin pan if you have one, the egg bites pop out effortlessly and cleanup is a breeze.
  • If your bites stick even with spray, try lining each cup with a small strip of parchment paper for foolproof release.
  • Let the egg mixture rest for a minute after mixing so the ranch seasoning can fully dissolve and distribute evenly.
