Bacon And Cheese Egg Bites Ingredients:

You can get the full list of ingredients with measurements in the recipe card below.

• Bacon – This adds a nice flavor and really makes these feel like breakfast.
• Eggs – Large eggs are best.
• Heavy cream – You can use milk, but heavy cream makes these taste more luxurious and makes them creamier.
• Mozzarella cheese – Any time you have a recipe that requires cheese to melt, you want to shred your own block of cheese because packaged pre-shredded cheese has preservatives in it that keep it from clumping together in the bag. But, those same preservatives prevent it from melting really well. So, we always recommend shredding your own cheese.
• Green onion sprigs – These add a little freshness into the egg bites.
• Seasoning – We use freshly onion powder, freshly ground toasted garlic, and freshly ground salt because we have a fancy battery-operated grinder. But you can use jarred ones.

How To Make Bacon And Cheese Egg Bites:

Pre-heat the oven to 325 F.

Make your bacon. Set it aside to cool completely. Break it into crumbles when it cools.

Add the eggs into a bowl.

Add the heavy cream and mix.

Side note: If you don’t have heavy cream, you can use milk although these taste a little more rich when you use heavy cream.

Shred the mozzarella cheese into the egg mixture and stir.

Cut the green onion into small pieces. Add them into the egg mixture and stir.

Add your crumbled bacon into the mixture and stir.

Add your seasonings. This is a great place to use the FinaMill. Stir until combined.

Take a silicone baking mold and set it on top of a cookie sheet. Make sure one of the ends of the molds lies on the edge of the cookie sheet to keep it flat.

Divide the mixture between the six cavities in the mold.

Bake for 30 minutes.

The egg cups will rise above the pan as they cook but will quickly deflate after the baking mold is removed from the oven.

Let them cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.

FinaMill Spice Grinder Review:

Let’s talk about the FinaMill Spice Grinder. Like I mentioned above, it’s the world’s first spice grinder with interchangeable pods. It’s one of those kitchen gadgets that just make so much sense, especially if you have older relatives. Seriously, I’m ordering one for all of our older relatives for Christmas.

The FinaMill is a battery-operated spice grinder. It requires three AA batteries that are put into the handle portion of the grinder.

The basic FinaMill comes with two reusable pods. Each pods holds a little over 2 ounces of spice. It does take a little finesse to open the pod the first time, but after that, it’s really easy. Fill the pod with spices, set it on a stackable tray, and it’s ready when you are.

Hold the FinaMill over the pod, push down, and the pod easily snaps into place. Push the button on the handle of the FinaMill and the spices grind and are added directly onto your food. When you’re done, a gentle push on the pod will unlatch it.

What’s great is if there’s no pod in the FinaMill, the button won’t push. So that really extends the battery life. What’s also great is you can adjust the coarseness of the grind at the bottom of the pod. So if you want a finer grind, you can adjust it.

There are three different pods (we only have two types) for typical spices (like salt and pepper), oily seeds (like flax seed), or for hard cheeses.

For us, this is pretty convenient. But for our older relatives who want the deliciousness of fresh ground spices (honestly, it makes such a difference) but who just don’t have the wrist strength to crank grinders, this is perfect.
