This is a great recipe to use for meal prep so you'll have a breakfast ready to go on busy mornings. Just make a big batch to keep in the refrigerator or freezer to reheat quickly when you need a quick grab and go meal to start your day.

These delicious breakfast egg bites are keto-friendly and low-carb with plenty of healthy fats. They will keep you full until your next meal without loading your diet with unnecessary carbs.

I love to make these ahead of time for a fast and healthy breakfast or a quick treat to have during the day when hunger hits. Even kids will enjoy these low-carb egg bites!

Ingredients

To make these tasty egg treats, you will need only a handful of ingredients. And, if you follow the keto diet, you most likely already have these available to you!

Eggs

Obviously, the most important ingredient in this recipe, eggs, make up the bulk of ingredients and help these bites not only hold together but add nutrition as well.

Although you can make them with just egg whites, whole eggs are best for a ketogenic diet because the yolks have all the fat.

Heavy Cream

Heavy cream helps to thin out the egg mixture so that it’s easier to pour. It also helps minimize the eggs’ rubberiness, creating a lighter, airier, more tender bite.

Cheese

Cheese adds a punch of flavor to these keto egg bites, making them extra delicious and rich! The cheese also helps everything to hold together and remain solid, even after storing in the fridge.

I like to use cheddar cheese but Swiss cheese tastes great too.

Bacon

Cooked chopped bacon adds a bunch of smoky and rich flavor to the dish. The delicious combination of eggs and bacon is perfect for breakfast or brunch.

Cream Cheese

Adding just the slightest touch of tanginess to the recipe, cream cheese makes these bites extra creamy. Plus, it adds plenty of fat resulting in a very filling and hearty keto snack. Cottage cheese can also be used instead.

Salt

Salt is an absolute must and helps to bring out all of the other flavors. You can replace or substitute a lot of ingredients, but salt is a necessity!

Spinach

Use baby spinach to add a bit of greenery to these bites and help you get in some extra veggies. Spinach goes very well with bacon and eggs – all of the flavors complement one another!

2. Pour Into Molds

Divide the mixture into 14 silicone egg bite molds with plenty of space at the top. Secure the top to keep the egg mixture from being introduced to water while cooking.

Add water to the Instant Pot as well as the trivet and stack the molds on top.

Serving Suggestions

These keto-friendly egg bites are full of protein and fat, so they really are substantial on their own.

However, if you want to add a little sweetness to the savory, try these bites with a side of toasted low-carb bread covered in some sugar-free raspberry jam. They taste great with some hot sauce on top too!

Or, if you are a fan of savory, kick up the saltiness even more with homemade sausage balls.

Recipe FAQs

Before we get to the printable recipe card, here are some questions people often ask about the recipe.

**How long do keto egg bites last in the fridge?

These mini egg muffins can be kept in the fridge for up to one week if stored in an airtight container. Make sure to leave them out just long enough for them to cool down before putting them in the fridge. The longer eggs sit out, the shorter the shelf life they will have.

Can they be frozen?

To store them for longer, you can freeze these bites for up to 3 months if kept airtight. To reheat, you can place them in the microwave.

**Are sous vide egg bites good for you?

Yes, these delicious egg bites are good for you! They are little protein bombs between the eggs and bacon. They are also high in fat from the cheese, heavy cream, and cream cheese, which is great on a keto diet.

**What can I add to keto egg bites?

If you want to add even more flavor to these bites or bulk them up a bit, you can add in your favorite low-carb vegetables. Some tasty options would be mushrooms, green bell peppers, celery, and tomato. You could also add in some extra spices for more flavor!

If you do not have bacon, you could use your favorite keto-friendly sausage instead. Just make sure to cook it before adding it to the recipe.

Be careful not to overcook these egg bites, or they will turn out too firm and rubbery.

You can change this recipe up by adding in other types of spices for an array of different flavors.

Make sure not to overfill the molds. Otherwise, it will be too wet, resulting in soggy and moist keto egg bites.

For easier release, you can grease the molds with butter or oil.

Cooked egg bites will keep in the refrigerator for a week or in the freezer for at least 3 months.
