Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 1 cup full-fat (4%) cottage cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheese (Starbucks uses a combination of gruyère and Monterey Jack)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 3 pieces uncured bacon, cooked and crumbled
- Optional: couple of dashes of hot sauce
Instructions
- Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 300°F. Bring a kettle or pot of water to boil on the stove. Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
- Blend the eggs, cottage cheese, shredded cheese, cornstarch, salt, pepper, and hot sauce in a blender or food processor until completely smooth.
- Place the muffin tin on a rimmed baking sheet. Pour the egg mixture into the cups, filling them about ¾ full. Sprinkle the bacon on top.
- Place the baking sheet on the middle rack of the oven. To create a steam bath. pour some of the boiling water into the baking sheet to reach about ½ inch up the sides of the muffin tin. Be careful not to pour water into the eggs.
- Bake 28-32 minutes, until eggs are set. Carefully remove the muffin tin from the oven and cool to room temperature. Then, unmold the egg bites (use an offset spatula or butter knife to loosen the sides, if needed).
- Store egg bites in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.

Notes
- silicone mold
- Use full-fat (4%) cottage cheese for thee best, creamiest texture.
- Cornstarch helps keep the egg bites from getting soggy.
- Blend the egg mixture thoroughly in a blender or food processor. This will give the egg bites a smooth, fluffy texture.
- Customize your egg bites with your favorite ingredients like green onions, bell peppers, spinach or sun-dried tomatoes. Try different types of shredded cheese like gruyere, Monterey jack, cheddar, fontina, or mozzarella.
- Use a silicone mold for easy removal. That way you can pop the egg bites right out without them sticking.
- To get that perfect, creamy texture similar to Starbucks sous vide egg bites, create a steam bath in the oven. To do this, place your muffin tin on a baking sheet or in a larger baking dish, and pour hot water around it. This creates a steam bath that provides moisture and prevents the egg bites from drying out.
