Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. We all know this. But we all also like sleep. And when you’re choosing between waking up early to make a delicious hot breakfast or hitting snooze, well, those extra minutes of sleep usually win.

That’s why meal prepping breakfast is such a good idea. You can make it ahead of time, when you have a little more time, then just heat it up in the morning before work. That just makes life so much easier.

One of our favorite make ahead breakfast recipes is this Bacon And Cheese Egg Bites recipe.

They’re sort of similar to the egg bites Starbucks sells. The flavors are different and the cooking method is different, but they’re similar in shape, size, and practicality.

Ours are better because they’re homemade and a lot more budget-friendly. But they’re also so much easier. The Starbucks version uses a sous vide technique, which isn’t really necessary. So since we skip that, we make these easier.

We also make these easier by using a FinaMill, the world’s first spice grinder with interchangeable pods. We’ll chat a little about it after the recipe — where you’ll get to enter for a chance to win one, so definitely check that out.

Bacon And Cheese Egg Bites Recipe

Bacon And Cheese Egg Bites Ingredients:

• 2 pieces of bacon
• 6 eggs
• 3 tablespoons heavy cream
• 2 ounces mozzarella cheese
• 2 green onion sprigs
• 1/8 teaspoon ground onion
• 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground toasted garlic
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground salt

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 And Giveaway:

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.
