Everything But The Bagel Egg Bites Recipe

Everything But The Bagel Egg Bites are everything you need for a savory, protein-packed breakfast or snack—fluffy eggs, creamy goat cheese, and a pop of colorful veggies, all kissed with a generous sprinkle of that irresistible “Everything” seasoning. They’re quick to whip up, meal-prep friendly, and full of flavors you’ll crave from the very first bite.

Ingredients You’ll Need

One of my favorite things about Everything But The Bagel Egg Bites is how each ingredient plays a special role. The essentials are easy to find, but every single one contributes something unique to the flavor, texture, or even the cheerful look of these handheld delights.

• 7 large pasture-raised eggs: Room temperature eggs whisk up fluffier, and pasture-raised varieties lend golden yolks and rich taste.
• 4 ounces goat cheese: Tangy and creamy, goat cheese adds luxurious texture and a little punchy zip.
• ½ cup avocado, diced: Buttery avocado gives these egg bites extra creaminess and a subtle, nutty flavor.
• 1 cup zucchini, finely chopped: Zucchini keeps things tender, moist, and sneaks in more veggies (hooray!).
• ½ cup cherry tomatoes, quartered: Sweet-tart cherry tomatoes burst flavor and color throughout every bite.
• ⅓ cup bell pepper, diced: For a pop of crunch and color—choose red, yellow, or orange for the prettiest tray.
• 1 tablespoon Everything But The Bagel Seasoning: The superstar blend—salty, seedy, and totally craveable!
• 1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped: Adds an herby, fragrant twist that lifts all the flavors.

Variations

Once you’ve fallen in love with the basic Everything But The Bagel Egg Bites, don’t stop there! It’s so easy to mix things up and make them your own—whether you’re cleaning out the veggie drawer or looking for something just a little spicy or extra cheesy.

• Swap the Cheese: Try feta for a briny twist, sharp cheddar for richness, or dairy-free cheese to make these bites plant-based.
• Meaty Add-Ins: Add crumbled cooked bacon, breakfast sausage, or smoked salmon for a protein boost and savory flavor.
• Different Veggies: Spinach, kale, mushrooms, or even leftover roasted veggies are delicious additions or substitutions.
• Spice It Up: Toss in a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce for extra kick.

How to Make Everything But The Bagel Egg Bites

Step 1: Prep the Pan and Oven

Start by preheating your oven to 375°F. Line a cupcake pan with cupcake papers for easy cleanup or use a sturdy silicone muffin form to ensure your Everything But The Bagel Egg Bites pop right out—no sticking, no fuss!

Step 2: Whisk the Eggs and Goat Cheese

Crack your eggs into a large mixing bowl and crumble in the goat cheese. Whisk them together until they’re well combined and the goat cheese is mostly broken down—it’s okay if there are a few little creamy pockets left, they melt beautifully!

Step 3: Add Veggies and Seasonings

To the egg mixture, add diced avocado, finely chopped zucchini, quartered cherry tomatoes, bell pepper, fresh basil, and the star—Everything But The Bagel Seasoning. Give it all a gentle stir so every cup is packed with goodness and seasoning is evenly distributed.

Step 4: Fill the Muffin Cups

Use a ladle or big spoon to divide the egg mixture evenly among 10 cups. Try to scoop up a little bit of everything into each one, so every bite has color, cheese, veggie—and a bit of that glorious EBTB crunch.

Step 5: Bake to Perfection

Slide the tray into your hot oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the egg bites are puffed up, lightly golden, and set—no jiggle in the center. Let them cool in the pan for a couple of minutes, then gently remove.

How to Serve Everything But The Bagel Egg Bites

Garnishes

A sprinkle of fresh basil or chives, a finishing dust of Everything But The Bagel Seasoning, and maybe even a little flaky salt give each egg bite that extra “wow” factor and a burst of freshness right before serving.

Side Dishes

Pair your egg bites with a simple mixed greens salad, some buttered toast, or even fresh-cut fruit—they fit right in alongside a brunch spread or act as the star of a busy weekday breakfast.

Creative Ways to Present

If you’re entertaining, arrange Everything But The Bagel Egg Bites on a board with smoked salmon, sliced avocado, pickled veggies, and mini bagels for a breakfast “bites” platter that’s as fun as it is delicious. Or, stack them high on a cake stand for a playful touch at brunch!

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

Let your egg bites cool completely, then tuck them into an airtight container in the fridge—they’ll stay fresh, fluffy, and flavorful for up to four days. Easy meal prep magic!

Freezing

For longer storage, freeze the cooled egg bites in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag. They’ll keep well for up to 2 months—just thaw overnight before reheating.

Reheating

To reheat, pop them in the microwave for 20–30 seconds or in a 300°F oven for 5–7 minutes. Cover loosely when microwaving to retain moisture—your Everything But The Bagel Egg Bites will taste fresh and fluffy all over again!
