Here’s a Copycat Starbucks Egg Bites recipe—creamy, fluffy, and packed with protein! You don’t need a sous vide machine; the oven steam bath method works just as well.
Starbucks-Style Egg Bites (Oven Method)
Ingredients:
- 6 large eggs
- ½ cup cottage cheese (makes them creamy!)
- ½ cup shredded cheese (Gruyère, cheddar, or Monterey Jack)
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp garlic powder (optional)
- ½ cup cooked bacon bits or diced ham (optional)
- ¼ cup chopped spinach or roasted red peppers (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
- Blend eggs, cottage cheese, shredded cheese, heavy cream, salt, and pepper in a blender until smooth.
- Grease a muffin tin (or use silicone molds) and evenly distribute bacon, spinach, or other mix-ins.
- Pour the egg mixture into the muffin cups, filling about ¾ full.
- Create a steam bath: Place a baking dish with hot water on the lower oven rack (this keeps the egg bites soft and moist).
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the egg bites are just set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
- Let them cool for a few minutes, then gently remove from the muffin tin.
✨ Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave for 30 seconds.
