Make fluffy, high-protein egg bites at home that taste just like your favorite coffee shop version. These are perfect for quick breakfasts and easy meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (full fat or low fat)
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/4 cup shredded white cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup cooked, crumbled bacon (optional add-in)
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh spinach (optional add-in)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin or use silicone liners for easy removal.
  2. In a blender, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, salt, and pepper. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. This step is key for fluffy texture.
  3. If using add-ins like bacon or spinach, divide them evenly among the prepared muffin cups.
  4. Carefully pour the egg mixture over the add-ins in each cup, filling them about three-quarters full.
  5. Sprinkle the shredded Monterey Jack and white cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the egg mixture in each cup.
  6. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the egg bites are set and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the egg bites cool in the muffin tin for about 5 minutes before gently removing them.
  8. These are excellent served warm or stored for later.

Notes

  • For a true Starbucks sous vide copycat texture, you can use a pressure cooker with a trivet and water bath, cooking on high pressure for 8 minutes followed by a natural release for 5 minutes.
  • These egg bites are great for keto diets and are naturally low carb.
  • You can substitute Greek yogurt for cottage cheese if you prefer, but the texture may be slightly different.
  • These freeze well. Cool completely, place in an airtight container, and freeze for up to one month. Reheat in the microwave for 30-60 seconds.
