You won’t be headed toward the drive-through if you have these hearty On-The-Go-Egg Bites ready to come to your rescue on busy weekday mornings!
How many of you meal prep once a week? Planning your meals in advance is an excellent way to eat well and simplify your life at the same time. It also saves money. When you plan ahead, you’re far less likely to hit the drive-through or go out to eat. That’s why on Sundays you’ll usually find me hibernating in my kitchen, stocking my fridge and freezer with meals so I don’t have to worry about what we’ll eat in the week ahead.
And yes, I know meal prepping can be time-consuming, and spending your Sunday cooking may not sound appealing to everyone. But trust me, it works. It might feel tedious, but it’s proven to be one of the most effective ways to stay on track. As I always say: plan ahead or plan to fail!
Luckily, we have plenty of recipes that are perfect for meal prepping, and one of our favorites is this recipe for on-the-go egg bites. If you’re the kind of person who skips breakfast and ends up at the window of the nearest fast-food joint, these savory little bites will change that for good. We’re not reinventing the wheel here, but these are definitely worth trying. They’re truly delicious, easy, budget-friendly, and keto-approved!
One recipe, endless variations
The best recipes are those you’ll never tire of because you can tweak them to your heart’s content. And this just happens to be one of them! If you don’t eat meat like me, feel free to leave out the bacon or use roasted peppers as a replacement. You can also experiment with different types of cheeses like Comté, cheddar, Monterey Jack, or Gouda. Want to add some veggies? Try diced bell peppers, sautéed and chopped mushrooms, leeks, or green onions. For extra flavor, add in some finely chopped herbs (we love flat-leaf parsley, chives, chervil, and dill), jalapeños, Dijon mustard, or even some chopped olives.
How do I store leftovers?
Transfer your cooled egg bites to an airtight container and store them in the fridge for up to 4 days. You can also double-wrap them in plastic wrap, transfer them to a Ziploc bag or freezer-safe container, and freeze them for up to 3 months. No need to thaw these overnight. Simply pop them in the microwave or heat them up in the oven at 350°F for approximately 8 minutes.
