Essential Kitchen Equipment
Directions
☑ Before Getting Started
Ensure your Cream Cheese is at Room Temperature before mixing to achieve a smooth and creamy texture.
Step 1 In a large bowl, use a hand mixer to combine eggs, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, mayo, heavy cream, soy sauce, black pepper, chopped green onions and bacon bits.
🥓 Bacon Pro Tip
For those who enjoy their bacon with a Crispy Texture, a helpful tip is to cook it first on the stove top until it reaches your desired crispiness, and then add it into the egg mixture before baking.
Step 2 Generously spray a muffin tin or silicone egg bite mold with cooking spray. Pour the egg batter into each compartment, filling them halfway. Bake in the center of the oven at 325°F for 16-20 minutes, or until the eggs are no longer runny.
💡 Filling Pro Tip
Fill the muffin tin Only Halfway with the egg mixture. This allows room for expansion during baking, preventing overflow.
🌿 Garnishing Pro Tip
Garnish your egg bites with fresh Sliced Green onions.
Pairing Recommendations
This egg bite recipe stands as a satisfying breakfast option on its own, but pairing it with a healthy Matcha Chia Pudding creates a well-rounded breakfast experience to kickstart your day!

Hello! Do you think these would freeze well? If so, for how long? Thank you!
Hey Natalie! Yes, these will hold in the freezer just fine! Just pop them in the microwave when you’re ready to enjoy them!
I’m not 100% sure how long they will hold, but we had ours in there for about 5 days and they came out fine.
Absolutely love your site and recipes guys, thanks for all the hard work you do! I wonder, is there a way takoyaki could be made in a similar fashion?? Maybe less egg and some protein powder or something? Also looking for okonomiyaki if you get my drift!!
Hey Tony – great to hear you are enjoying the recipes and our website!! It’s hard work but worth it when we hear comments such as yours! As for okonomiyaki and takoyaki, we have these on our to-do list. It would take quite a bit of experimenting but just keep checking back, we’ll eventually get around to it!
