    These bacon, egg and cheese muffins are an easy meal prep option to have in your breakfast rotation. The whole family will love!

    Bacon, Egg and Cheese Muffins sprinkled with chives on plate.

    This recipe came about from a childhood favorite of mine. As a little girl, I absolutely loved Hardee’s Bacon, Egg and Cheese biscuits. These were a weekend treat during my youth. I wanted to recreate this recipe but also making it a meal prep option. Hence, leaving off the bread. Either way, I know this version will still be healthier than the restaurants plus easy on the go.

    Ingredients to make

    • Bacon
    • Egg
    • Cheese of choice
    • Milk of choice
    • Salt
    • Pepper

    How to make bacon, egg and cheese muffins

    Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Then, get the bacon started. You can fry in a pan or bake in the oven. I have a great recipe here for baking the best oven bacon. By baking in the oven, make sure to take out when the bacon is slightly cooked but not all the way since it will be going back in the oven. Next, crack eggs into a large mixing bowl and whisk. Pour in milk and cheese. Sprinkle in salt and pepper. After bacon is cooked, break off pieces into mixture and stir to combine. Pour into muffin tins and bake in oven.

    How to keep sticking from the pan

    I don’t want to leave this out of the blog post because it is such an important piece to assure your muffins will come out nicely. Please use either paper baking cups or silicone baking cups to line your muffin tin. This will assure that nothing sticks and the muffins will come out easily. For picture purposes, I didn’t and just used the non-stick spray. It was horrible trying to get the cups out. The mixture had completely stuck to the bottom.

    Can I make these dairy-free?

    Yes, you can sub out the cheese for a dairy-free cheese of choice. The same goes with the milk. I actually prefer using almond milk with this recipe but you can use any type of milk.

    Can these muffins be frozen?

    Yes, and that is why they are such a great weekly meal prep option. For storing, you want to put them in an airtight freezer bag. They will be good up to 3 months. For reheating, take out the night before and place in refrigerator. In the morning, pop in the microwave or toaster oven to heat up.
