Starbucks Egg Bites
Description
Starbucks Egg Bites consist of eggs blended smoothly with cottage cheese, salt, and black pepper, creating a creamy base. Shredded Gruyere cheese is folded in to add a mild, nutty flavor and a slight richness. Cooked and finely chopped bacon placed on top adds a smoky, savory contrast to the soft egg custard. Baking the mixture in a muffin tin until set forms individual egg portions with a tender, slightly risen texture.
The bites are baked at 350°F for 20-25 minutes, then rested before removal to maintain structure. They can be served warm, making them a convenient protein-rich dish for breakfast or as a snack.
The recipe yields six egg bites and can be doubled as needed. The combination of ingredients yields a gentle balance between creamy and savory with a bit of bacon crunch on top.
Ingredients
- 6 egg large
- 4 lices Bacon cooked and finely chopped
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 cup gruyere cheese shredded
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 12 cup muffin tin generously with a non-stick cooking spray.
- Combine the eggs, cottage cheese, salt and pepper together in a blender. Blend until smooth.
- Then pour into a bowl and stir in the shredded gruyere cheese.
- Pour this mixture evenly into the muffin tins. Fill each tin approximately 2/3 of the way full as the eggs will rise as they cook.
- Top each egg bite with the chopped bacon and gently press them down with a spoon so they are in the egg mixture and not just on top.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the eggs are set.
- Remove the pan from the oven and let the egg bites rest for 5-10 minutes. Gently remove the egg bites from the pan with a spoon and then they are ready to serve and enjoy!
Notes
- The nutritional information provided corresponds to two of the egg bites from this recipe.
- Ensure eggs are blended until completely smooth with the cottage cheese for a creamy texture.
- Press bacon pieces gently into the batter to integrate flavor without sinking.
