Make quick, high-protein egg bites similar to Starbucks using cottage cheese for a fluffy texture. These are perfect for meal prep and a fast breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (full fat or low fat)
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup cooked, crumbled bacon (optional add-in)
  • 1/4 cup chopped spinach (optional add-in)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin or silicone egg bite mold.
  2. In a blender, combine the cottage cheese and eggs. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth, about 30 seconds. This step creates the fluffy texture.
  3. Pour the egg mixture into a large bowl. Stir in the salt, pepper, and shredded cheese.
  4. If using add-ins like bacon or spinach, divide them evenly among the prepared muffin cups.
  5. Carefully pour the egg mixture over the add-ins in each cup, filling them about three-quarters full.
  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 pan for 5 minutes before removing them.
  8. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for longer storage.

Notes

  • For a Starbucks sous vide copycat texture, you can use an Instant Pot with a trivet and natural pressure release after cooking for 8 minutes on High Pressure.
  • To make these low carb egg bites keto-friendly, skip any starchy vegetables and stick to bacon, cheese, and low-carb greens.
  • These are excellent for meal prep; reheat them in the microwave for 30-45 seconds when you need a quick grab and go breakfast.
