Make these easy, fluffy egg bites at home! This high-protein breakfast recipe is perfect for meal prep and tastes just like your favorite coffee shop version.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (full fat or low fat)
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (Monterey Jack or cheddar)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup cooked, crumbled bacon (optional add-in)
  • 1/2 cup cooked, chopped 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.
  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, gently stir them into the egg mixture in a bowl. Do not overmix.
  4. Pour the egg mixture evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full. Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top of each cup.
  5. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. The egg bites are done when they are set in the center and lightly golden.
  6. Remove the muffin tin from the oven. Let the egg bites cool in the tin for 5 minutes before carefully removing them.
  7. These are great served warm or stored for later. This is a fantastic low carb egg bites recipe for grab and go breakfast.

Notes

  • For a true Starbucks sous vide egg bites 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 pressure release for 5 minutes.
  • These egg cups freeze well. Cool completely, place in an airtight container, and freeze for up to one month. Reheat in the microwave for 30-60 seconds.
  • If you prefer a different flavor, swap bacon for cooked sausage or add finely chopped broccoli for a veggie boost.
