Looking for a quick and easy, delicious breakfast recipe that’s perfect for busy mornings? Who doesn’t love a good egg? Scrambled, fried, sunny side up, eggs are easily one of the most versatile ingredients, and definitely one of the yummiest. And, as I pivot to baby-friendly cooking, I’ve discovered my favorite way to make eggs yet: egg bites!

These baby-friendly baked egg bites are just what you need in your breakfast rotation! Packed with simple ingredients and loaded with essential nutrients, they are a great way to start your day. Quick, easy, and perfectly poppable thanks to their mini muffin shape, these egg bites are one of the best breakfast finger foods for babies, young children, older kids, and adults alike.

Why you’ll love these egg bites for your little ones (and yourself too!)

Not only are these baby-friendly baked egg bites delicious, but they are also packed with great nutrients for your growing little one.

Egg bites

Let’s talk ingredients! 

I used what I had on hand—baby red bell pepper, red onion, and fresh spinach, all chopped finely into small pieces. You can also add in some different cheeses like cottage cheese for a creamy texture, cheddar cheese or mozzarella cheese. There are so many different ways to customize these bites based on your tastes or your baby’s diet. I absolutely loveeee to make these at the beginning of the week and store them in an air-tight container to have on hand for you and your snacking littles all week long! They’re a healthy baby option that’s perfect for busy mornings.

Note: Full ingredient measurements are listed in the recipe card below.

Here’s how you’ll make my Baby-Friendly Egg Bites:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a mini muffin tin with nonstick spray
  2. In a pourable dish, add eggs and whisk. Add milk, chopped veggies, salt and pepper, stirring to combine
  3. Distribute the egg mixture evenly between the 12 muffin tins & top each with cheese
  4. Bake for ~12 minutes or until fully set. Let cool slightly before serving!

Storage and Meal Prep Tips 

And let’s not forget about the convenience factor, with their mini muffin shape, these little egg bites are the perfect size for little hands and make for a great on-the-go snack. These egg bites will last about 4-5 days in the fridge, when stored in an airtight container.

They are also ideal for meal prep. Simply make a big batch ahead of time, let them cool to room temperature, then store them in an airtight container or freezer-safe bags, and you’ll have a quick breakfast option ready to go on those busy mornings. Just reheat them in the toaster oven (350°F for about 5-7 minutes, or until heated through) or microwave for about  20–30 seconds, and you’re good to go! 

Serving suggestions:

These egg bites pair perfectly with a variety of foods, offering easy options to create a balanced and delicious meal: 

  • Sliced Veggies: Small pieces of cucumber, carrots, or steamed broccoli provide extra crunch and nutrients.
  • Fresh Fruit: Soft fruit like mashed banana, berries, or peaches adds natural sweetness and vitamins.
  • Mashed Avocado: Creamy mashed avocado is packed with healthy fats and pairs perfectly with the egg bites for a smooth, flavorful addition.
  • Sweet Potato: I love to pair roasted or mashed sweet potato with a drizzle of peanut butter for a tasty combination of fiber, vitamins, and healthy fats.
  • Whole Grain Toast: A slice of toast or English muffin adds fiber and texture.
  • Yogurt: A scoop of plain Greek yogurt adds protein and probiotics.

For your little foodie, breakfast time is the most important meal of the day, and these easy breakfast options make it easy to have a nutritious breakfast that’s perfect for starting the day off right. Here are some of my favorite breakfast recipes for baby breakfasts:

FAQs

Yes, you can use any milk you prefer! If you’re not using almond milk, you can substitute with regular dairy milk, oat milk, or any other non-dairy milk. For the best results, choose a milk that complements your flavor preferences. Oat milk is a great option for those looking for a creamy texture and a mild flavor.

To make these egg bites dairy-free, simply omit the cheese or replace it with a dairy-free cheese alternative. You should also swap the milk for a plant-based option, such as almond or oat milk.

Yes! These mini egg muffins freeze really well. After baking, let them cool completely, then store them in a freezer bag or airtight container. When you’re ready to eat them, just reheat in the microwave or toaster oven for a quick, filling breakfast. They’re ideal for busy days!

I used what I had on hand to make these but there are lots of great options for added veggies. You can finely chop some broccoli, grate or chop zucchini or yellow squash, you could even add some kale for a bit of crunch.  The options are endless, use whatever you have on hand and find a combination that works for you!

Yes! You can definitely add meat or other proteins to the egg bites. Consider adding cooked bacon, sausage, or diced chicken. For a vegetarian option, you can also include tofu or beans for an extra protein boost.

I hope you and your baby love this recipe! It’s a perfect choice for baby-led weaning as the mini egg bites are the ideal size for little hands exploring solid foods and trying new foods. They’re not only for your little ones, though—your whole family will love them! These mini egg muffins are a healthy option that can easily be customized with veggies, proteins, or even a sprinkle of cheese to suit everyone’s tastes.

    2. I get 24 mini muffins and freeze. With twins, it’s worth 6 days (as they’re 1) but we eat them every other day.

    I tried these this morning, and my husband and loved them. We are doing keto, and this is a winner. We are sitting thinking of things you could put in. Olives, jalapeño peppers, bacon, I put onions, sausage, peppers in today, so good.
    Can you freeze egg bits once they are made?
