Key Ingredients for Starbucks Egg Bites
- Large Eggs – The essential base, creating a light and tender texture.
- Bacon – Adds a smoky, savory flavor and satisfying crunch in every bite.
- Cottage Cheese – Gives the egg bites their signature creamy, velvety finish.
- Gruyere Cheese – Provides a nutty richness that melts beautifully.
- Salt & Pepper – Enhances and balances the flavors for a perfectly seasoned bite.
Quick Steps to Make Starbucks Egg Bites
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F and greasing a muffin tin well. Blend eggs, cottage cheese, salt, and pepper until smooth. Stir in shredded Gruyere, then pour the mixture into muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full. Sprinkle chopped bacon over each one, pressing it gently into the egg mixture. Bake for 20–25 minutes until set, then let them rest for a few minutes before removing. Serve warm for a cozy breakfast that feels gourmet.
Tasty Tips & Easy Variations
For extra flavor, try swapping Gruyere with sharp cheddar or adding a sprinkle of feta for a tangy twist. Vegetarians can skip the bacon and mix in sautéed spinach or roasted red peppers instead. If you love a little heat, add diced jalapeños or a dash of smoked paprika. Don’t overfill the muffin cups, as the egg mixture will puff up while baking.
How to Store Starbucks Egg Bites for Later
Keep leftover Starbucks Egg Bites fresh by storing them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days. For longer storage, freeze them individually and reheat in the microwave or oven when you’re ready to enjoy. A quick warm-up brings back their fluffy, cheesy goodness without sacrificing texture.
Starbucks Egg Bites
Ingredients
- ¼ tsp Pepper
- 4 slices Bacon cooked and finely minced
- 6 Large Eggs
- 1 cup Shredded Gruyere Cheese
- ¼ tsp Salt
- 1 cup Cottage Cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and coat a 12-cup muffin tin thoroughly with non-stick cooking spray. Blend together the eggs, cottage cheese, salt, and pepper until the mixture is completely smooth. Transfer the blend to a bowl and gently fold in the shredded Gruyere cheese. Pour the egg mixture evenly into the prepared muffin cups, ensuring each is filled about two-thirds full to allow room for the eggs to puff up as they bake. Sprinkle the chopped bacon over each cup and lightly press it down with a spoon so it is submerged in the egg mixture. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the egg bites are fully set. Remove from the oven and allow them to rest for 5 to 10 minutes before carefully loosening each bite with a spoon. Serve warm and savor immediately.
