Fluffy egg muffins with cheddar, bacon, and ranch—perfect for quick breakfasts

# What You’ll Need:

→ Eggs & Dairy

01 - 8 large eggs
02 - 1/3 cup whole milk
03 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

→ Meats

04 - 1/2 cup cooked bacon bits, approximately 5-6 strips chopped

→ Seasonings

05 - 1 packet ranch seasoning mix, 1 oz
06 - Salt and black pepper to taste

→ Vegetables

07 - 1/4 cup chopped green onions

→ Other

08 - Nonstick cooking spray

# Directions:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs and milk until well combined and slightly frothy.
03 - Stir in shredded cheddar cheese, bacon bits, ranch seasoning mix, and green onions. Season with salt and pepper to taste, accounting for saltiness from ranch mix and bacon.
04 - Evenly distribute egg mixture among the 12 muffin cups, filling each approximately three-quarters full.
05 - Bake for 18-22 minutes until egg bites are puffed, set in the center, and lightly golden.
06 - Cool for 2-3 minutes before running a knife around edges to release. Serve warm.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • They taste like a decadent breakfast but come together in under 40 minutes from start to your plate.
  • Make a whole batch on Sunday and grab one during the week when you're running late and hungry.
  • Ranch and bacon is a flavor combo that somehow never gets old, no matter how many times you make it.
02 -
  • Don't fill the muffin cups to the brim or your egg bites will overflow in the oven and create a sad, spillover situation that's tough to clean.
  • If your ranch mix is on the salty side, you might taste it before adding any extra salt, because the bacon and seasoning already contribute a lot of sodium.
03 -
  • Save your bacon grease and use it to grease the muffin tin instead of cooking spray; your bites will have better flavor and release like they're on ice.
  • Whisking your eggs with a fork instead of using a blender means you keep some of the air bubbles intact, which translates to a fluffier final product.
