Notes for Meal Prep:
Meal prepping these spicy chicken sausage egg bites ahead of time is a great idea. Then you have a grab and go breakfast in seconds!
Storage:
- Fridge: You can store each serving in the fridge for up to 1 week and eat it as it fits your meal plan. Pop them in the microwave for 15-30 seconds to warm them up.
- Freezer: You can freeze them in freezer safe zip lock bags, remove all of the air and store for up to 6 months. Re-heating after being frozen: You can go straight from the freezer to the microwave, cook them for 60-90 seconds. Or pull them out overnight to defrost in the fridge, then microwave them for only 15-30 seconds.
Notes for Counting Macros:
Typically I give tips on how you can adjust my recipes to meet your macro requirements. But with these little protein packed chicken sausage egg bites I am not going to make that recommendation. Protein can be one of the hardest macros to reach in our daily intake and these little egg bites are delicious just as they are!
Although, what I will recommend is increasing the number of servings you eat. Use these as a way to hit your protein goals for the day. With 10.6 grams of protein per muffin/bite, I am positive you can afford to eat a few of them. Even if you decided to eat 4 of them, you would barley be making a dent in your carb and fat macro for the day.
I hope you work these Chicken Sausage Egg Bites into your meal prep, as well as your macros and give them a try, they are outstanding!

Starbucks has nothing in these egg bites!
What brand of sausage did you use for this recipe? Seems the fat from the sausage links is not included in your macro breakdown.
Thank you very much for reaching out with your question:I used Nature Promise which only has 2.5 grams of fat per sausage link. This recipe only calls for 2 links. Therefore 5 total grams of fat from the chicken sausage in this recipe. The only other fat comes from the 1 whole egg for another 5 grams of fat. Making the recipe 10 total grams of fat. When divided into 6 Egg Bites that is a total of 1.7 grams of fat per egg bite.
I hope that helps. I wasn’t able to find a link to these particular sausages on Amazon, normally I try to link all of my ingredients so that people can get the exact ingredient. However, I have been able to find these Nature Promise Chicken Sausages at almost any grocery store.
I did however, just go back to this recipe and add the brand to help everyone in the future! I truly appreciate your question and feedback!
Hi! i just made these and the only thing i added was a shaving of real parmagiano reggiano when they came out of the oven! Very good, and my boyfriend loved them. clever little recipe, filed in “Keeper” file.
Yay! I am so glad you and your boyfriend liked this recipe! They are super easy and you can swap out some of the ingredients very easily!
