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

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 cup cooked mix-ins (e.g., chopped spinach, cooked bacon bits, or diced ham)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin or silicone mold.
  2. Combine the cottage cheese and eggs in a blender. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth, about 30 seconds. This step creates the creamy texture.
  3. Pour the egg mixture into a bowl. Stir in the salt, pepper, and your chosen shredded cheese.
  4. Fold in your cooked mix-ins, such as bacon or spinach. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
  6. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the egg bites are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Remove the tin from the oven and let the egg bites cool in the tin for 5 minutes before carefully removing them.
  8. Cool completely before storing for meal prep. These are great for grab and go breakfasts.

Notes

  • For a Starbucks sous vide copycat texture, you can use a pressure cooker with a trivet and the Instant Pot method, cooking under high pressure for 8 minutes followed by a natural release for 5 minutes.
  • These egg bites are excellent for low carb meal planning and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or frozen for longer storage.
  • If you are following a keto meal plan, ensure your mix-ins are low in carbohydrates.
