Bacon and Cheese Egg Bites are a quick and easy healthy breakfast recipe that taste just like the ones you order at Starbucks, but a fraction of the calories! Once you make these you'll be hooked!
Last summer during a Starbucks run I decided to try their new "Egg Bites" and instantly became hooked! They were protein packed delicious little egg bites that were so light and fluffy. Unfortunately, they weren't very friendly to my wallet or waistline so I started to limit how often I'd order them.
I've been playing around with my Instant Pot lately and decided to try to make a lightened up version of these yummy egg bites. After a few tries I came up with this insanely easy 4 ingredient recipe that tastes just like the Starbucks version! The great thing is they're only 100 calories each so they're a guilt-free breakfast or snack.
