Easy Egg Bite Cups
I am always looking for easy breakfast options that reheat well for my family, but especially for my kids! My kids loved these breakfast bite cups and I liked that they were getting some protein and spinach in early in the day. These egg bites can easily be customized with ingredients you like!
Ingredients
- 12 Street Taco Size Tortillas
- 1 handful of spinach
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 6 eggs
- Splash of milk
- Salt and pepper
- 4 pieces cooked bacon
- Hot sauce
How to Make Egg Bite Cups
To make these easy egg bite cups, start by getting out 12 tortillas that are the street taco size. These fit perfectly inside of the muffin cups. Place the tortillas on a plate and microwave them for about 40 seconds. This will help them not break when putting them in the muffin pan.
Next, carefully place one tortilla inside each muffin cup. Be careful not to tear the tortilla as you gently press it down.
After the tortillas are ready, chop a handful of spinach into small pieces and put some inside each tortilla.
Next, combine six eggs, a splash of milk, some salt, and pepper in a bowl. Whisk this together well and pour the whisked egg mixture inside of the tortillas. I like to fill them about half way full because as the eggs cook they expand.
Top the eggs with cooked and chopped bacon pieces. You could use bacon bits, but I prefer cooking bacon and chopping it into small pieces.
These egg bite cups are going to bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes.
Serve Egg Bite Cups
Once the eggs are fully cooked, it’s time to eat! My kids like eating them as is, but my wife and I prefer topping them with some hot sauce! Store leftover egg bites in a container with a lid.
To reheat, we found that putting them in the air fryer at 400 degrees for 4-5 minutes worked best (just keep an eye on them so they don’t burn). If you don’t have an air fryer, the oven would also work!

This was quick to put together and now we have a healthy breakfast for dashing out the door. I thought I had street sized tortillas but they were corn, not flour, and crumbled so I took 4 large flour tortillas and cut into fourths and they worked great!
Glad you liked it!!
