These creamy, cheesy egg bites are packed with smoky bacon and just the right amount of jalapeño heat, making them a perfect protein-packed breakfast or snack. Inspired by Starbucks, they’re easy to make at home, customizable, and great for meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup (120g) full-fat cottage cheese
  • 3/4 cup (85g) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 4 strips cooked bacon, chopped
  • 1 large fresh jalapeño, seeded and finely diced
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) milk (whole milk preferred, or any milk of choice)
  • 1/2 teaspoon (3g) salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon (1g) freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon (1g) garlic powder (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives or green onions, finely sliced (optional)
  • Nonstick spray or muffin liners (for pan prep)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick spray or use silicone liners.
  2. Fry 4 strips of bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy (about 6-8 minutes). Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate, let cool, and chop into small pieces.
  3. In a blender or food processor, combine eggs, cottage cheese, milk, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder (if using). Blend until very smooth and slightly frothy, about 30 seconds. (Alternatively, whisk vigorously in a bowl until well combined.)
  4. Pour the blended egg mixture into a large mixing bowl. Stir in shredded cheddar cheese, chopped bacon, diced jalapeño, and chives/green onions if using. (Reserve a little bacon and cheese for topping, if desired.)
  5. Evenly pour the mixture into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Sprinkle reserved bacon and cheese on top if desired.
  6. Bake in the center of the oven for 18-22 minutes, until the egg bites are just set and slightly puffed. They should not jiggle in the center.
  7. Let the egg bites cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes. Carefully run a thin spatula or butter knife around the edges and remove from the pan.
  8. Serve warm, topped with extra chives or salsa if desired. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.

Notes

For extra creaminess, blend the eggs and cottage cheese. Use silicone muffin liners for easy release. Adjust jalapeño heat by removing seeds or adding more. These egg bites are great for meal prep and freeze well. For a vegetarian version, omit bacon or substitute with sautéed mushrooms.
