Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded Gruyère cheese (or cheese of choice)
- 1/4 cup cooked and crumbled bacon (optional)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 cup diced vegetables (e.g., spinach, red bell peppers, or mushrooms – optional)
Equipment
- Blender or food processor
- Silicone muffin molds or a muffin tin (greased)
- Baking sheet
- Large mixing bowl
- Oven
Instructions
- Preheat the oven:
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Place a baking sheet on the middle rack to serve as a water bath (this helps keep the egg bites moist). - Prepare the egg mixture:
In a blender, combine the eggs, cottage cheese, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and frothy. - Assemble the egg bites:
If using bacon or vegetables, divide them evenly into the silicone molds or greased muffin tin. Pour the blended egg mixture over the fillings, filling each mold about 3/4 full. - Bake in a water bath:
Place the filled molds or muffin tin on the baking sheet. Carefully pour hot water into the sheet to create a water bath. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the egg bites are set and slightly golden on top. - Cool and serve:
Allow the egg bites to cool for a few minutes before removing them from the molds. Serve warm, or store in the fridge for up to 5 days for an easy, reheatable breakfast.
Tips
- Sous vide style: For a creamier texture, use a sous vide machine instead of baking. Set it to 185°F (85°C) and cook the egg bites for 1 hour.
- Make it your own: Experiment with fillings like feta, sun-dried tomatoes, ham, or jalapeños to customize the flavor.
- Freeze for later: Egg bites freeze well! Wrap individually and thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
Homemade Starbucks egg bites are simple, delicious, and perfect for meal prep. Whether you love the classic bacon and Gruyère or prefer a veggie-packed option, these egg bites are a versatile and nutritious start to your day. Enjoy them fresh or store them for a quick, reheatable breakfast all week long!
