Hey all! I hope I’m still having fun and still alive! Isn’t it weird writing posts in advance? Right now I haven’t even finished packing for my trip, which will be basically over as you read this, so I’m coming to you from the past. I guess I’m always doing this to a small degree but a whole week feels almost creepy.
Okay I’ve gotten over it. The good thing about recipe posts is that the recipe can last forever, and by forever I mean until the end of civilization. In this case, I’m assuming that bacon and eggs will make it through to the end with us. I’m talking the bitter end. If I’m going to be catapulted off the earth by a catastrophic event, I will be taking my bacon and eggs with me for my last meal. Good thing these bacon egg breakfast bites will last in the fridge for up to 3 days. Maybe I’ll push it to 4 if the event is really really catastrophic. Assuming my refrigerator withstands the event, of course, which, why would it not?
Things just got real weird real fast here, so I apologize for that. Kidding, not sorry. You guys must know by now that rambling and making things weird is maybe almost my best and most special talent. Well, that and also time travel, as we just discussed. Gosh I’m a kidder today! And none of it’s all that funny, so, let’s move on.
I’ve been thinking ahead to the beginning of school. And when I think of school, I think mostly of myself and my kids in our minivan eating, because it just always works out that way. I don’t know what we’re even eating. Breakfasts? Snacks? Dinner-snack? Play doh? It can be tricky to figure out what to bring in the bags and tupperwares as we go from home to school to activity to another activity. We always need more than I think we do, and honestly a lot of the time it’s me who’s left hungry.
Eggs and bacon to the rescue, at least for me and Diana. You remember Diana’s instructional post about keeping your bacon safe, right? She can’t get enough bacon – she ate half of this batch on the first day. I don’t blame her, because there will be many more egg bites and muffins and cups (they’re all the same thing) after the success of this recipe!
Bacon Egg Breakfast Bites with Chives {Paleo}
Ingredients
- 8 whole eggs - pasture raised or organic
- 6 slices nitrate free bacon*
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp fine grain sea salt
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh chives
Instructions
-
Cook the bacon in a cast iron skillet over med-hi heat until crisp, drain on paper towels and set aside.
-
Preheat oven to 375 degrees and grease a muffin pan or line with baking cups.
-
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, paprika and onion powder. Crumble the cooled bacon and add to the egg mixture. Last, add the chopped chives and stir to combine.
-
Fill the muffin cups 3/4 of the way up to make 8-10 egg bites. Bake in the preheated oven 10-15 minutes, or until the eggs have JUST set. Remove from oven and let cool before removing and serving.
-
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze them for later use. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes
* For Whole30 and sugar detox friendly, use sugar free bacon.
*US Wellness Meats has my favorite!
What would your last meal include? Is refrigeration necessary?
Do you make your own on-the-go snacks or go with prepackaged?
I hope you are having a great time 🙂 I am also thinking about school and I am just not ready for the schedule to begin and all of the rushing around. Ugh!
I’m so with you on that! We get home tomorrow and then it really feels like the summer is over 🙁
Hope you are still having so much fun. My last meal. EVERYTHING. And no, refrigeration is not necessary for my last meal haha. I haven’t made Alex any egg cups in a while, maybe I’ll do that for him during these next 2 months!
I’m so tired at this point but we all had a blast and are sad to go home!
I make a batch of egg muffins every Sunday to last me the work week. They’re so convenient! Bacon is genius. I’m gonna try that!
Your egg muffins always look perfect!
I make a new variation of these all the time if I have an early morning long run before work and know I won’t have 20-30 minutes to make a hash or scramble. Such a good go to!
So many variations on this one and you can’t really go wrong!
What is the best way to reheat?
I always do eggs when I have time, but Greek yogurt when I don’t. Now I can mix it up with these! I also felt weird writing recipe posts to go up while i am in England, but – too good not to share!
Sort of a strange feeling to write posts in advance but of course the recipe doesn’t change so those are the best write-ahead posts 🙂
II want this right now! I wish I had some pre-made so that I didn’t have to cook! haha! Pinned!
Thanks! I hear you on the cooking. It’ll be tough to get back into the swing of all that tomorrow!
I love to make egg dishes ahead of time to eat on busy weekday mornings. Hope you are having a great time!
Thanks! Can’t believe it’s back home tomorrow. So much to catch up on!
Hope you’re having a splendid time! This looks great! I have been snacking on fresh figs with sun butter. Yummy 🙂 but these egg snacks look divine! Happy Friday!
You can always be counted on for the best snack combos!
Haha, this is like the ultimate paleo food 😛
Paleo staple 😉
Playdough lol that made me laugh out loud. So true. If I make my own playdough I don’t feel so bad when the kids chow down.
I have to start making my own right away, no excuse!
Those look so, so good! I have a bunch of duck eggs in my fridge that I need to use, and I think I may do this.
I totally make my own snacks 🙂 I’m pretty AIP so I have to be really careful.
I’ve never tried duck eggs but I’d love to 🙂
Bacon will most certainly be part of my last meal. These egg cups look so delicious for a quick breakfast or afternoon snack! I think I’s be like Diana and eat them all in the first day – she’s a smart girl!
Sort of defeats the purpose of a make ahead snack but works nonetheless 🙂
I love making little egg muffins!! And bacon makes everything better! They look awesome!
Thanks! Egg muffins are awesome little snacks 🙂
These are great and super easy to make! Thank you! 🙂
Happy you enjoyed!
