I've Tried Dozens of Costco Kirkland Breakfast Foods, and This One Is the Best

The best Costco hack is also, perhaps, the most obvious one: Always buy the house brand. Kirkland Signature has proven time and time again to be a name you can trust, thanks to the retailer's reputation for quality. That means you save money without compromising on quality.

This philosophy also applies to Kirkland Signature breakfast products, which range from healthy and nutritious to decadent and delicious. So which one deserves a spot in your kitchen? I'll tell you which one is a must-have in mine.

Straddling the space between omelettes and frittatas are egg bites, in this case flavored with bacon and Gouda. I'm a big fan of the taste and texture of these protein-packed noshes that come with 10 per package.

Those watching their fat, cholesterol, and sodium intake should enjoy these in moderation, but the splurge warrants a spot on this list. Bonus points for using cage-free eggs.

Price: $13.61

Kirkland Signature also offers these vegetarian options with a surprising amount of flavor, courtesy of the rich cheese and fragrant bell peppers.

They're not as decadent as the bacon and Gouda bites, but the healthier nutritional profile makes up for the flavor deficit. Plus, the texture holds its own, and you can't beat the ease of preparation.

Price: $9.07

Costco's bagels aren't a work of culinary greatness like I've found in Manhattan, but if you allow them to be a simple bakery standard, there's a lot to enjoy about these budget-friendly breakfasts. One pack comes with 12 bagels.

Toast them and apply the spread and toppings of your choosing, and the experience is surprisingly satisfying. Paired with Costco's smoked salmon and cream cheese, for example? Yes, please.

Price: $10.49

Once relegated to hippy cult food status, I'd argue granola has long since come into its own. Kirkland Signatures Ancient Grain granola is sweet, it's a textural playground, and it plays very well with fruit and the milk of your choice.

In addition to hitting those high notes, this 35.3-ounce bag of granola is packed with fiber and healthy fats without going overboard on the sugar. The whole grains keep me fuller for longer, too.

Price: $12.47

A homemade fruit smoothie is an aspirational way to start the day. This four-pound bag of frozen raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries makes prepping one a breeze, too. Plus, frozen berries don't go bad nearly as fast as fresh ones do.

Blend with ice, milk, and chia seeds, and a balanced breakfast is served. I love how customizable this option is, allowing me to change up the flavors as I see fit.

Price: $20.79

For this reasonable price, you get four 1-pound packages of sliced bacon that's as salty and crunchy as you'd hope for. Yes, bacon is high in fat and sodium, but moderation is your friend. Plus, what goes better with eggs and toast for a classic morning meal?

Pro-tip: Bake this bacon in a pan in the oven like I do for maximum crispiness without the mess.

Price: $18.72

Move over, fast food. This pack of eight sandwiches rivals anything you can snag fresh from the drive-thru, especially straight from your air fryer. The croissant is buttery, and the crisp bacon contrasts perfectly with the ooey-gooey egg and cheese.

So why didn't I give this Platonic ideal of breakfast sandwiches the number one slot on this list? Answer: The shrinkflation I and other Costco members have seen ding the quality of this product.

Price: $7.93

Freshly baked and tucked quaintly in parchment, Costco's muffins all have a rustic presentation. As for flavor and texture, the eight-pack of blueberry and cream muffins blends tangy fruit with rich custard for a smooth balance.

Lightweight and not too big, these muffins rank high on our list. However, the high calorie count combined with excess fat and sugar may deter some from making these a household staple, as they do for me. But for 99 cents per muffin? The price is right.

Price: $14.99

This 33.8-ounce bottle of maple syrup isn't a meal on its own, but on top of pancakes and waffles, a standard breakfast can become sublime. Just ask the 5,500 Costco members who rate this syrup 4.9 out of 5 stars. That's exceptionally high for any product.

I agree with the many reviewers who praise the quality, flavor, consistency, and extremely affordable price tag on this stellar product. It's a Kirkland Signature staple, and it belongs in your pantry.

So, which Kirkland find stands out above the rest? Sometimes you need breakfast to be all about the deliciousness, which is when Costco's Kirkland Signature danishes shine their brightest. They're flaky, sweet, and just the right size.

Four come in a mix-and-match package, with cherry, almond, or cream cheese filling. My favorite is the latter, thanks to the custardy texture.

Anyone on a quest to save money on groceries knows that Costco is the bulk retailer that can make that a reality. For breakfast aficionados, that's only one reason to shop there — their Kirkland Signature morning meal offerings are top tier.

Costco also sells an abundance of breakfast items that come from other brands, cementing their status as a great grocery for the most important meal of the day.
