Ingredients
Scale
- 12 large eggs
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup cooked, crumbled bacon
- 1/4 cup cooked, chopped spinach, squeezed dry
- 1/4 cup cream cheese, cut into small cubes
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit if baking, or prepare your Instant Pot/sous vide setup. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin well.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy.
- Divide the bacon and spinach evenly among the bottoms of the prepared muffin cups.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the bacon and spinach in each cup.
- Place a small cube of cream cheese in the center of the cheese mixture in each cup.
- Carefully pour the egg mixture over the fillings in each cup, filling them about three-quarters full.
- If baking: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the centers are set.
- If using sous vide/Instant Pot: Place the muffin tin inside a larger oven-safe dish or trivet, add enough hot water to come halfway up the sides of the muffin tin (water bath). Cook at 170 degrees Fahrenheit for 60 minutes, or use the pressure cook setting for 8 minutes followed by a natural release.
- Remove the egg bites from the heat and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before carefully removing them.
Notes
- For a smoother texture similar to the coffee shop version, blend the egg mixture in a blender until completely smooth before pouring.
- These are excellent for make ahead keto breakfast and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- If you prefer sausage over bacon, use 1/2 cup of cooked, crumbled breakfast sausage instead.
