Cheesy bacon breakfast bites are the perfect healthy start to your day. Eggs, bacon, and cheese are baked up into muffin sized bites. Fluffy and flavorful, they’re 21 Day Fix approved, too!
Confession # 45 – I’m struggling this week.
After a weekend away with the girls, I am finding it difficult to get back into my routine.
Apparently I’m getting old.
As much as I loved our late night dance parties, I think we forgot the most important part of getting away without the kids.
Sleep.
We forgot to include an extra 24 hours of sleeping, ordering take-out, and watching mindless TV in lounge clothes. Next time, ladies, this must be included.
Since I’ve been back, it has taken all of my energy just keeping up with my kids. I haven’t worked out and my nutrition has just been off.
But tonight I am pushing play no matter what. I just need to “break the seal” or something. You get me, right? Actually, I have no idea if I am making any sense, but I am looking forward to a good sweat session tonight.
Anyway, I want to share these cheesy bacon breakfast bites with you, that I made on Saturday.
They were so yummy and the perfect breakfast for a crowd. Someone asked if they were Fix approved, and honestly, that’s what I love about the FIX. Almost everything is FIX approved.
Well, maybe not the Jello shots we may have had.
This picture (and the bags under my eyes) is strong evidence of the Jello shots in question.
And we did use pancetta, which isn’t on any FIX approved list I have seen. Because of it’s higher fat content, turkey bacon is a better choice for everyday meals. But if you are having company, go with the pancetta. Delish!
I hope you enjoy this cheesy bacon breakfast bites recipe.

Hi,
Do you use a regular muffin tin or a mini muffin tin?
Nancylynn says
regular!
Dori Shelton says
Every time I make egg cups of any kind, they just deflate into flat egg disc things the moment I take them from the oven. Any tips to avoid this or is it all just the reaction of the heat to the air in the eggs etc?
Nancylynn says
Unfortunately, eggs expands during cooking and shrinks back as it cools. Hopefully they still taste yummy!
Amy Armstrong says
Silly question, but does this make 6 muffins? Thanks!! Amy
Nancylynn says
Not silly! You should get 12…but depending on your eggs, you might get less.
Amy Armstrong says
Thanks so much!!
Jaime says
Is is one cup so 1green container then 1/3 of a serving of green and blue? They are not full count for green and blue right?

Each 2 egg cup serving is 1/3 green 1/3 blue and 1 red!

Ok how is 2 egg cups 1 red? 6 slices of turkey bacon = 1 red.

Can you make these with egg whites instead of regular eggs? Just curious how it might turn out but I think I’m going to make them this way!
Nancylynn says
Sure!!
Tara Jo says
If you were to use mini muffin pans… how many would you count as a serving? I’m not sure where all of my regular sized muffin pans went ??♀️! Back on the bandwagon!! ??

I am excited about making these but I don’t eat regular eggs, how many egg whites would I need to make this recipe??
