If you’re like me, you probably love a good omelet at breakfast time, but there are days when you just want something a bit smaller and bite-sized. That’s exactly how I came up with these delicious little egg bites—think of them as mini omelets that pack all the flavor but are super easy to make! When I think about egg bites, I first remember the version from Scooter’s Coffee. It’s simple and easy to make, and the taste is just incredible. They’re perfect for breakfast on the go, a quick snack, or even a protein-packed lunch.

In this blog post, I’m excited to share my Copycat version of Scooter’s Egg Bites Recipe with you!

What Are Scooter’s Egg Bites?

Scooter’s Egg Bites are mini omelets packed with flavor and baked in a muffin tin, making them portable and perfect for on-the-go meals. They combine eggs, cheese, bacon, and veggies for a savory, protein-rich bite.

Compared to other popular options like Starbucks Egg Bites, Scooter’s version is easier to make at home and can be customized with your favorite ingredients. Plus, they’re budget-friendly and baked rather than sous vide, giving them a fluffy texture with minimal effort.

Tips for the Perfect Egg Bites

To make sure your Scooter’s Egg Bites turn out perfectly every time, here are a few tips:

  • Non-stick spray is essential: Don’t forget to spray the muffin tin well. Even with liners, this ensures they won’t stick.
  • Don’t overfill the cups: Only fill the muffin cups about ¾ of the way full. This leaves space for the egg bites to rise as they bake.
  • Check for doneness: Around 20 minutes, insert a toothpick into the center of an egg bite. If it comes out clean, they’re done. If not, give them another 2-5 minutes.
  • Whisk thoroughly: Make sure to whisk the mixture well so the ingredients are evenly distributed and the texture is light and fluffy.

Make-Ahead and Storage Options

One of the best things about Scooter’s Egg Bites is how easy they are to make ahead of time. You can prepare a batch on the weekend and enjoy them throughout the week.

Storing in the Fridge

Once your egg bites have cooled completely, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. When you’re ready to enjoy them, just reheat them in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds, and they’ll be as good as fresh.

Freezing for Later

If you want to make a bigger batch and freeze some for later, simply allow them to cool, place them on a baking sheet, and freeze them until solid (about an hour). Then, transfer them to a freezer-safe container or bag. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to eat, thaw them in the fridge overnight or microwave them directly from frozen.

Variations of Scooter’s Egg Bites

The beauty of this recipe is its versatility. Here are some variations you might consider trying:

  • Veggie Lovers: Add spinach, bell peppers, or zucchini for a fresh twist.
  • Spicy Kick: Incorporate jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce for some heat.
  • Cheesy Goodness: Experiment with different cheeses like feta, gouda, or pepper jack.
  • Herb Infusion: Add fresh herbs like basil, parsley, or chives for added flavor.

Serving Suggestions

These egg bites are incredibly versatile. Here are some of my favorite ways to serve them:

  1. Breakfast on the go: Pair them with a slice of toast or a piece of fruit.
  2. Protein-packed snack: Enjoy them as a midday snack to keep you going.
  3. Lunch box addition: Pop a few into a lunch box for a satisfying and healthy meal.
  4. Brunch platter: Serve them alongside fresh fruit, croissants, and a nice cup of coffee for a simple yet elegant brunch spread.

FAQs About Scooter’s Egg Bites

Can I use egg whites instead of whole eggs?

Absolutely! You can use egg whites for a lighter version of these egg bites. Just adjust the quantity to maintain the same volume.

Can I make these in a silicone muffin pan?
