Bacon Breakfast Bites

Our bacon breakfast bites are a classic for a reason: they're easy to make, portable, and packed with protein. They're also a great way to use up leftover bacon, and they're perfect for parties or brunches.

The bacon breakfast bite has a long and storied history. It is believed to have originated in the American South, where it was a popular way to use up leftover bacon and eggs. Bacon breakfast bites were originally made with cornbread batter, but over time, they evolved to use a variety of different batters, including biscuit dough, pancake batter, and even waffle batter. Today, bacon breakfast bites are a popular breakfast food all over the United States, and they can be found on the menus of many restaurants and cafes.
