What Makes Dunkin Omelet Bites So Good?

Dunkin Omelet Bites are the perfect on-the-go breakfast to help you power through your busy day.
Why You Should Try This Recipe for the Dunkin Egg Bites?
Making a lousy omelet is easy, but cooking a good one takes plenty of practice. These Omelet Bites Dunkin Donuts style deliver fluffy, perfectly cooked eggs with almost zero effort.
How? By making them in the oven! Baking the bites eliminates any guesswork and gives you time to handle those inevitable morning emergencies while still being able to serve your family a freshly cooked breakfast.
Ingredients For Dunkin Omelet Bites
To make omelet bites, you’ll need:
- Eggs
- Cottage cheese
- Monterey Jack Cheese, shredded
- Cheddar cheese, shredded
- Salt
- Bacon bits
Prepare homemade bacon bits or buy a ready-made product containing actual bacon for the best flavor. Hormel’s Real Bacon Bits is a good choice for this recipe.
How To Bake Dunkin Omelet Bites
To make these convenient handheld omelets:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Blend the eggs, Monterey Jack, cottage cheese, and salt on low speed until the mixture is slightly thickened and free of lumps. If you don’t have a blender, try whisking everything together in a bowl. Although the texture will not be the same, the egg bites will still be delish.
- Add the cheddar cheese and bacon bits to the egg mixture. Pulse once or twice, but avoid pureeing the bacon.Â
- Lightly spray a mini-donut baking pan or silicone mold with oil. Even when using a non-stick pan, a light spritz of oil is necessary to prevent the eggs from sticking. A mini muffin pan is an acceptable substitute for a mini donut baking pan, but you should extend the cooking time by a minute or two to ensure the bites cook thoroughly.
- Set the mini donut baking pan on top of a cookie sheet and pour the omelet mixture to the top of each bold.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the eggs are firm, about 10 to 12 minutes.
- Remove the egg bites from the baking pan immediately. Â
Recipe Variation
Egg White Veggie Omelet Bites – Use six egg whites instead of 4 whole eggs. Substitute the bacon with tomato and spinach. Substitute the Monterey Jack and Cheddar cheeses with a four-cheese blend.
What To Serve Dunkin Egg Bites With?
Try garnishing the egg bites with a squiggle of creamy pepper sauce or ketchup and then sprinkling on a combination of finely chopped cooked peppers, onions, and mushrooms. Home fries, fruit, and toast make these bites a complete breakfast.
Hot or iced coffee, an espresso drink, or a cold brew with brown sugar cookie flavor are all great beverage choices.
How Do You Store Egg Bites?
Let the eggs cool to room temperature before transferring them to an airtight container. Egg bites will keep in the fridge for up to three days. If you want to keep them for longer, try freezing them.
- Place the cooled bites on a baking pan and freeze until frozen.Â
- Transfer the eggs to a freezer-safe container.Â
- Store in the freezer for up to two months.
How Do You Make Egg Bites Ahead of Time?
Save time in the morning by preparing the omelet mixture the night before and keeping it in the fridge overnight. Take the egg mixture out of the fridge 10 minutes before baking.
What’s the Best Way to Reheat Dunkin Cheddar and Bacon Omelet Bites
The best reheating method to prevent the eggs from drying out is using the microwave:
- Wrap a thawed egg bite in a damp paper towel.
- Microwave on medium power for a minute. Â
- Let the egg bite rest a short time before eating.Â

Dunkin Donuts Omelet Bites
Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 4 tablespoons cottage cheese
- 1/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese plus extra, if desired
- 1 tablespoon real bacon bits
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- In a blender, combine the eggs, cottage cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, and salt. Puree until it is a uniform mixture. Then add the cheddar cheese and bacon bits and pulse a few times.
- Spray muffin or donut pans with non-stick spray.
- Pour the egg mixture into the pans. If using the donut-shaped tins, fill the rings until they are almost full; otherwise, the omelet bites will be oddly shaped. This does not matter on muffin tins.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the omelet bites spring back when touched.
- Remove the pan from the oven and remove the omelet bites from the tins. Serve immediately, or, if desired, you can sprinkle some cheddar cheese on top and place the bites under the broiler until the cheddar cheese melts.

I really wanted the dunks texture so I experimented by turning the oven down to about 250° F and put the pan into another larger pan of water (water bath), It needed to cook much longer. At least an hour if not more, but my oven has been giving me trouble, so keep an eye on yours. Also, I didn’t have cottage cheese and I substituted plain non fat Greek yogurt and it was delicious. Since it wasn’t cottage cheese I was able to mix everything really well with a whisk
The rest was the original recipe and I felt it was really very close to dunks!
Stephanie Manley
I am glad you liked what you made.

I took someone else’s suggestion and added a Tbsp of cream cheese to the mix. I also put half the bacon bits in the mixture, then used the other half to sprinkle on top (after I had poured the mixture into the muffin tin) to help keep the bacon mixture through out and not just on the bottom. I also had to cook mine for closer to 17 minutes. But – they are delicious! I have some leftover that I plan to reheat over the next couple days, so I hope they reheat well! 🙂

Can you freeze and reheat?
Stephanie Manley
I haven’t tried freezing them, it may change the texture. To reheat them, I would only do this from a thawed state.
J Harris
While tasty, these taste nothing like the Dunkins omelette bites theirs are denser and creamier…. These tasted very eggy.
Stephanie Manley
I am sorry these tasted to eggy for you.
Shannyn
Hey there! I just made these and added a tablespoon or a little more of chive cream cheese. The texture, feel and taste was identical to Dunkin. I’m impressed and in love!
Diana L Drobnica
These are really good! My only problem is the cheese and bacon stay at bottom of the pitcher, so it’s hard to keep it even. I think I will try putting the cheese and bacon at the bottom of the cup before I put the egg mixture in. Definitely saving me a trip to DD!
Shar
My egg bites after baking had green specks throughout, eggs and cheese were fine before cooking. Any idea why?
Stephanie Manley
I have never had that happen before.
Brenda
I’m not positive, but it could be, the eggs were not blended enough. For nice fluffy eggs for this recipe or for scrambled eggs, be sure to use something that will get some air into the mixture. I know a place that uses their milkshake machine to scramble eggs.
Laura
Delicious!
